German car magazine just tested the Cayman S in their latest issue, here are some of the test results:

0-100 kph in 5.5 sec. (Boxster S: 5.4 sec., 997 CS: 4.7 sec.)
0-160 kph in 12 sec. (Boxster S: 12.4 sec., 997 CS: 10.7 sec.)
0-200 kph in 19.2 sec. (Boxster S: 20.2 sec., 997 CS: 16.6 sec.)

Weight (measured): 1415 kg (Boxster S: 1418 kg without PCCB and 997 Carrera S: 1482 kg)

Cayman S was equipped with PCCB brake!
997 Carrera S was equipped with PASM (standard).
Boxster S was equipped with standard brake.

Slalom 18m: 66.1 kph (Boxster S: 67.9 kph, 997 CS: 66.9 kph)
ISO Handling Test: 140.9 kph (Boxster S: 134.2 kph, 997 CS: 142.4 kph)

High Speed Braking Test (from 190 kph to 0): 128 m (Boxster S without PCCB: 130 m and 997 CS: 129 m)

AMS made a last comment about the fact that Cayman S owners may have to live with the "smell" driving a "poor man's" 911.

the test data of the 997 Carrera:
Weight: 1475 kg (standard brake)
0-100 kph: 4.9 sec.
0-160 kph: 11.4 sec.
0-200 kph: 18.1 sec.
Slalom 18m: 66.8 kph
ISO Handling Test: 141.9 kph
Braking from 190 kph to 0: 130 m
 
The Cayman is a very good car, it's a shame Porsche couldn't put more power into it though!

Am I right in saying there is going to be a clubsport version coming soon??

It would have been a disaster if they would have packed the cayman with much more power then it has now, that would knock the 911 off the thrown.
 
I know that Porsche don't want the 911 to be pushed off the top, but for me personally, I would prefer the Cayman to the 911 if it had more power, and that may be possible with some tuners!

With the engine not being kitted with turbo chargers it is kind of hard to tune the car. If tuners fiddle with chips and the air intake they might be able to squeeze somthing like 15-30hp more out of the car but that's it. The really killer would be a black Cayman Turbo with ceramic breaks but since the engine is mid located there is hardly any space for turbo chargers.

Yes there won't be one for technical and moral reasons.

I love the car.I can't afford a 911.

Thats interesting info Luwalira. I would think Turbos would be the logical method to getting the extra power the Cayman needs to be a real monster.
Where is that info from? And how much more space does a turbo kit take up?
