It would be interesting to see a comparison of the 2 cars with equal tires.

It probably depends in part on what exactly you are looking for in the car - the front-heavy distribution of the BRZ is probably a bit better for drifting, but for high-speed cornering and agility, I would guess that the Cayman's weight distribution would be better. I would also expect that the Cayman's chassis is probably a bit stiffer, and the fact that the Cayman has Porsche's torque vectoring system should also work in its favor. As for weight, the BRZ is 2776, vs the Cayman's 2910 (for the S) or 2888 (for the non-S), so there's not a ton of difference there. It would be an interesting comparison for sure, but I would expect the Cayman to win, even on equal tires.
