Narrower tyres (can’t house rear tyres as wide as GT3).
Somehow heavier?

But the real reason, which explains most of the above? No Cayman can be allowed to eclipse its big brother, the 911. The product hierarchy must be maintained, and if that means the GT4 RS must be sandbaged so it is just behind a GT3 RS, so be it.
