The high polar moment of the 911 rotates more slowly- easier to balance, but slower all else being equal. However all else is not equal- the difference is swamped by the suspension design. The modern 911's rear multi-link is the most sophisticated suspension design in common use, while the Cayman's strut is the least sophisticated. It shows.
Do you think it's worth pursuing upgraded rear suspension options for the Cayman, or is money better spent on a 911?
