CoG is super crazy actually it's even lower than a 458's for example.

Idunno, the current Type R is a really great feat for them and they achieved that at a modest, yet still somewhat expensive price point. Tac on another 20k (CAD) and you are in Cayman territory, but have a ton of wiggle room, not to mention the obvious cheaper to maintain Honda car. I really think Honda could make a better car than the Cayman at that price point.

Not feasible. Try an H6 or Turbo H4.

I have owned both too.

Ditto from another former owner of both.

But higher than the cog of my 89 miata or basically any corvette. Not that crazy.

You can think that but I, along with every company not trying to compete with the cayman (Honda included) disagree.

Uhh, except Honda already built a Cayman and everyone adores it. It's called the first gen NSX.

Coincidently, Mr. Wolf (Pulp Fiction) was the first person to drive a NSX on the big screen.

Debatable but within reason. My argument was in the context that Honda can't do that today for the price of a cayman, let alone less. They couldn't do it then and they can't do it now. Not to sell short what a lot of companies do but the cayman benefits from a lot of preexisting resources Porsche has.

We are talking 2018. They have nothing.

Agreed, but cost of ownership i.e. consumables, fuel, maint. insurance would be higher than any Honda IMO #porschetax
