MT,

I saw that before and I think I would want a rematch. The Cayman also hits 0-60 in under 5 seconds, 4.8 sec to be exact says R&T. I think the Cayman driver was female, just kidding!!! The Cayman was a manual and the Jeep was auto so I think the jeep got the jump on the CS and the drive of the CS just let him go.

Oh no!! I am not being defensive, but 'smoked' I just think that is the wrong adjective for that so called race.

Aloha Russ

any way, some of the previous members felt it was stage...i dont think so...refer to car and driver stats in the back of aug 2006 issue.

Those Jeep SRTs are quick but if taken on a track I'm sure the Cayman will eat it alive. The street they raced on seems a bit short and narrow too. I think the vicinity of the cars to each other probably played a part too. I'd be weary of racing in such a tight road.

mt,

If these cars are that close with their respective 0-60 times that race would have been almost dead even. Something else was wrong with the Cayman. In other words if the Cayman is a 5 second car then the Jeep would havehad to have been a 4 sec car, and it is not!

FWIW, Russ

Saw this on a previous thread. Grandmother was test driving the Cayman, I choose to believe.

I find this perfectly plausible, except they omitted the part where they went around a corner and the Jeep rolled over, and over, and over.......
