Why do they always bring a Cayman GTS and not a Cayman/Cayman S to these comparos. In what universe are they finding a M2C and a Cayman GTS even remotely in the same area code price wise.

I don't know the others, but Tiff's an enthusiast. He has been around a long time and clearly keeps doing it because he loves driving cars.
His E39 M5 review in 1999 remains a classic. I still remember watching it that many years ago. I thought - I'm buying that car.

Ever hear of Formula 1 ? He used to race F1. What about a tv show called top gear ? What about a tv show called 5th gear ? No idea who the other 2 amatuers are but Tiff has forgotten more about cars than you will ever know.

Does a ZL1 1LE not deserve to be compared to an M4 GTS or 911 GT3 because it’s cheaper… please.

I agree, probably the 2.0t would be a good comparison especially against the Alpine. I think the M2 would win but having owned a 2.0t Boxster, I would own one again if I could. Just a lot of fun and somewhat more affordable so you’re not as worried about honing around. Plus you’re using more of its available power.

I see that now. I will now bow out of the interwebz for the day. I stand by my statement but it does not apply with that video headline

But at the same time, I was considering just saving money and going with a Miata, a Mustang GT, or a genesis g70. So I was comparing cars with hugely different price points, but at the same time, even like 5k over budget wasn’t going to cut it for me. So I have sympathy for tests like this, they just aren’t speaking to me considering how much money I have to spend. But also the title of the video is dumb and clickbaity. |
