Until you realize that it's a 1.6 mile circuit.

I was however, surprised it that it wasn't closer to the Cayman S and would be interested to see how close it gets to a regular Cayman. I suspect the differences are still coming down to power and corner exit grip, both of which the Cayman S have a good bit more of. I'm betting that a good many of his corner exits in the BRZ were tail happy.

I generally suspect that the folks at EVO magazine are just not that good at driving front engine RWD's in a controlled, fast fashion; which is why they seem to think that FWD hot hatches are "better."
