According to the article in Car and Driver this month, the 911 is on Michelin Pilot Sport Cups (DOT-R tires), and the Cayman is on Bridgestone Potenza RE050As ("summer tires"). If the Cayman was on DOT-Rs I'm sure it would win this handling contest.
A sidebar to the article also references the 914, and describes it as "hapless." I'm willing to bet that my 914 (while not exactly stock), would pull more Gs than both the Cayman and the 911 on the skidpad. |
