I chose that article being that as the driving experience of the author is basically up the line of anyone else who is going to be driving either cars. You or me are not gonna be the next Vettel or Hamilton no matter how much we wish and hope we will be, we wouldn't even come close to Chris Harris who just reviews cars for a living. In order to get optimal time in the Corvette you have to take off all the traction controls and even with the new all aluminum chassis which reduces chassis flex and makes the chassis unbelievably stiff the power still causes the tires to slip and the back end to kick out because the it is a front engine car and want to pivot on the engine. The ideal speed around a corner is with a 6 degree slip angle and the Corvette is way to much car for any amateur driver to handle holding a perfect 6 degree slip angle. The Porsche Cayman is going to have the same issue being too much car with the traction control off except with it being a rear engine car the back end is going to be less prone to sliding out hence an easier car to drive that is going to feel more intuitive so for the average driver its going to offer up faster lap times. I did state on paper the Stingray is better and with a professional driver it is going to handle better and get better lap times but at that point very few people are going to be able to drive either car like that and it becomes a pissing game to see who's cock is smaller since to settle it would be on the track not on paper. Since either car will be too much car for most people on a track it breaks down to which you would rather have. Myself who goes to tracks I would take the Cayman not because I like Porsche but because I know I would get better lap times in it so it would be a better car for me at the track. Personally I like my old Datsuns 510 that is fully caged weighing in at about 2000 lbs with an sr20det swap in it and pushing about 300hp to the wheels and running 10" wide tires on back and 9" tires up front at the track. My Datsun also has a perfect 50/50 weight distribution so it handles like its on rails until it slips then all wheels slip. Or the new Camaro Z-28 as that is a track ready car but will have the same issue as the Stingray wanting to kick out but it will have that V-8 sound that the Stingray has and that the Porsche doesn't. All in all around town touring I agree the Stingray is a better car than the Cayman but at the track the Cayman would be the better car for me as I would be able to bring that car closer to its limit than the Stingray.
