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.
i would imagine that the front biased weight would be better for both drifting and high speed cornering. the agility is where the cayman would probably have an inherent advantage.
