Here's an excellent demonstration of where the real power lies in a Cayman S. Race is from a roll in 2nd gear, at approximately 40 MPH. Camera car is a 2006 Mustang GT, the silver two door is a 2004 Pontiac GTO (six speed), and the car on the far outside is a 2006 WRX STi. The Cayman gets out-accelerated in the first few gears by the Mustang, then reels it on the top end, handily passing it and taking a final lead of about 25 car lengths. (Followed by the torque monster GTO) Final speeds were somewhere around 150 MPH.

Apparently he was just asleep at the wheel, or sending text messages when the third honk was blown. The 'Stang was legitimately fast, as evidenced later in a drag race versus a Mach 1. Quick up to around 110-120, then it hits a wall. Ironically enough, the Scooby driver later suggested a race on "curvy" roads, drawing a snort of derision from the Cayman pilot. Me thinks the WRX had a driver handicap in addition to its high curb weight and laggy power band. (It also lost to a Mach 1 earlier) The GTO did finish a solid second place, after its torque advantage and relatively clean shape came into play.
Does the stang have those ridiculous gear ratios - where top gear is some
crazy number like 0.6 or something? THat explains why it takes the others
at lower speeds then loses it big time.... it puts more force onto the road
as long as it's not in the tall gear. Also, as others have said the Cayman
has lower frontal area and lower Cx I'd wager. IT was good to see it
disappear into the sunset alone.
Plus, it's a Porsche. That helps it go faster.
