It's funny to me that most of the desired sports cars are over the 3k lb barrier including a Cayman S at 3,075 lbs. |

However, one could argue that the 911 and M3 are built more for stability at high speeds due to the autobahn than they are built for nimbleness on tight and twisty mountain roads.

911 and the M3 are great sports cars but they do make more power. What defines a great sports car is it's p/w ratio but what makes a great driver is his/her ability to utilize that p/w ratio to their maximum capabilities.
