So far they've only done stats and lap times at Laguna Seca. Nevertheless still some things I've never heard/read before.

Kinja'd!!!

First off, the Cayman S weighs 3,152 lbs. Thats with a hundred pound weight savings over the last model. My Crossfire only weighs 3,060lbs. and hell the FRS/BRS is only 2,700lbs. I thought the baby Porsche would of been lighter than it is.

I know its a GT & I still love it, so don't start yelling at me. But the Vanquish is 7 seconds slower around Laguna Seca than the Viper TA.

The E 63 AMG wagon weighs 4,703 pounds!!!! Holy crap, thats a lot. For comparison sake, the CTS V wagon weighs 4,396 lbs.

While the Bentley Continental GT Speed might have the third most power in the comparison with 616hp. It also posted the second slowest time, only beating the Focus ST by 2.7 seconds.

All 12 videos of the lap times are at the !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! youtube page and tomorrow should be more exciting. I believe they will doing street driving and actually talking about how the cars are to drive.

I think it's impressive that despite all that weight, the E63 Wagon is still a second faster than a 1M Coupe, less than a second slower than a Cayman R, and just barely over a second slower than a BOSS 302 Laguna Seca.

It is a damn good time considering. I guess thats what AWD and 577hp are good for.
