Haha, well I am sure you are biased towards the M-car so I understand your thinking. I think it's been proven often that both the 996 and now the 997 both in base form have beaten the M3 around both the Nurburgring(not Nuremburg?) and Hockenheim Ring.

Again, I will wait and see what the tests provide us for Cayman S vs. M-Coupe.
