Hahaha! I'm with you!
I spent 4 months managing a contract at Fort Hood during the summer a few years back. If you've never been to Kileen, don't.

I never made it out to Kileen, but Houston got hot enough for me. Only good thing is that air conditioning was a top priority for nearly every building. Someone, somewhere, always had one running at max blast.

That is until the *unofficial* annual brown/black outs rolled through at the hottest points.

Right. They used the Cayman as a benchmark. It's not engineered anything like a Cayman though. Open the hood of your FR-S and let me know if you see an engine.

My BRZ doesn't handle anything like my Cayman S. When's the last time you saw someone drifting a Cayman?

How many videos do you want? searching youtube for Porsche Cayman Drift gets me a few hundred videos.

No one said they were tasked with cloning a Cayman.

I wouldn't go out in public in a Golf.

The Cayman is a great car though.
