I don't know why we keep trying to compare a 2-seat Porsche roadster to a 4-seat daily driver. They each have their place, but they are not really comparable vehicles. |
You do realize that the roadster is the Boxster, right? Which wasn't part of this comparison.
I will agree with you on one front though - this comparison is stupid, for a couple of reasons - the Porsche is a sports car and the 240...isn't. And going around corners is what the Cayman is good at - so even down on power, it's still faster in a straight line than the 240.
