I finally had the chance to drive a Cayman last week at Thermal in Palm Springs.
I believe it was a 2015, so that makes it a 981 I think. Power wise, the vehicle was stock but it had some sort of suspension modifications, along with upgraded brakes and wheels on R888Rs.
The car was awesome though. Very neutral at the limit and was willing to play. If it understeered, it came it very moderately and predictably. Same with oversteer. I had a few instances where the car would get some very nice rotation with some trail braking or on throttle on corner exit. But it was all very managable and predictable. Nothing aggressive or anything to take you by surprise.
I see why people love this car so much now. Power wise, the car felt fine, but I also think the gearing was a bit on the long side. I think slightly shorter gearing would have felt really nice. Other than that, I didn't have any real complaints.
I do wish it looked more like the GT4, since the normal S is a bit too bland for me, aesthetically speaking... but I'm still an 11 year old at heart when it coems to car styling sometimes lol.
