Evo Car Of the Year!

Evo is out, and it is their eCOTY piece. They have done a 'Real World COTY' and an 'Unreal World COTY'.

Cayman was in the latter.

In short, the Cayman came in 6th. Bit dissapointing until reading that the main reason is the chassis is just too good for the engine 'Turbo grip with Boxster grunt' to quote. There was no 911 in the COTY this year.

1. Ford GT
2. Ferrari F430
3. Clio Trophy (had a Clio Sport, so don't mind this!)
4. Gallardo SE
5. BMW M3 CS
6. Cayman S
7. Aston V8
8. BMW M6
9. SLK55 AMG
10. TVR Segaris

I guess I don't mind being in that company especially given the price of the Ford GT, F430, Gallardo, etc.

Is this the January 2006 issue of EVO? December is the latest issue they reference on the EVO web site.

Definitely made a great choice in ordering my Cayman after seeing the list. One BMW is the only other car that I may have been able to afford and I since I have talked to several people that own BMWs I know I made the right choice with Porsche.

The Clio is only about 1/5th of the cost of the Cayman S here.

Ah but the Clio doesn't exist here, so we can rule it out...

That is the previous issue to the COTY issue.





And having had a Clio, though it is a fabulous drive and stupidly cheep for the performance, but not the kind of car you want to drive every day too and from work.

Evo says, it handles too well for it's own good and not enough torque to unstick the back end, also its very fast and accurate through the bends, but not adjustable by the throttle like the 911.

Interesting comment since I was able to 'unstick' the rear end of the 987S on the track, it just took a little time to figure out how, I suspect the same is true for the Cayman. With more lateral grip than the 911 it takes a different driving style than just mashing on the throttle to bring the Cayman S rear-end around.

Spun it did you? Have to find the limits as Senna used to say.
