Wow.

Thanks for sharing.

Just give me a ZR1 for one drive...I would love to see what it's like to be behind the wheel of that beast.

Everyone always talks about they have more fun with turning, etc etc, but man, power reduces even the most hardnosed person into a 7 year old child.

There is something very primal about doses of 500+ HP at your right foot.

Well people call the s2k twitchy, unpredictable, hard to drive....


If you get into any 640+ HP RWD car, and arent used to it, your right foot will get you in trouble very often.

[QUOTE=MrClean,Sep 25 2009, 06:57 AM] Civilized and manageable (Cayman).

If the ZR1 is the blue devil (brutal, relentless, evil), the Cayman S is the well dressed alter boy (divine, predictable, well mannered).

As clich

I know I'm going to get flamed for this, but in spite of the fact that the review was informative, it really felt a little cheesy. A little too, wannabe motor trend.

Like if you were to ask me what happened at a soccer game I saw and I responded, "The fans are on their feet... Stevens passes to Johnson, Johnson passes back to Stevens, he kicks, and GOAL GOAL GOAL BBABHDGDGDKAKAUDYGDUHWKDHDKWHDH!!!!!!!," you'd probably think to yourself that was a little over the top.

I'm just saying.

I hear you and I'll give you that, but truthfully I just let my passion for cars flow through the keyboard. And since 80% of my reading outside of work is car rags, it is no surprise that it has rubbed off on me.

Last night, after the two drives, I was so hyped up that I couldn't sleep for hours. So, I decided to write about it. But I assure you that I have no intention of quitting my day job and go apply for an editor job at MT, C&D, or the alike.

Besides, I'm not the first and I'm sure I won't be the last to write in this cheesy, passionate way. Personally, I enjoy reading such insightful and entertaining review from others.

No flames here. Cheers!
