    The Vette will be a better performer, but it's taken a huge step back in style. The Cayman has taken a step forward, and is the best blend of price, value, swag, desirability, driving dynamics, and performance on the market.

    "Thinking that the PCCB brakes would improve with some head...."

    I'm going out on a limb here but I can fathom that a lot of things are improved with some head.

    "We think this step up is worth it in mental well-being alone..." If your mental stability is so dependent on the car own being superior to a V6 Accord, are you mentally fit to drive? I see this type of commentary in reviews of all kinds of products, not just cars. At one time I thought it was just slightly amusing hyperbole, but it is used so much now that either lots of you are related to psychiatrists who need work and/or you actually believe that drivel.

    "Thinking that the PCCB brakes would improve with some head, I did five of the seven stops from 100 mph..." He must not have seen "The World According to Garp" if he thinks getting head during a panic stop is a good idea.

    I'm sorry but 12.7 seconds in the quarter mile at 106.8mph ???(reinforced by other comments in the article that this was a correctly recorded speed/time).

    I have a problem with this. First off, it's only 5.7mph faster at the quarter mile then the base cayman yet 1.3 seconds faster.

    A RWD car like this should be running faster than that for that time. For example, an e39 m5 runs a 13.0-13.2 at 108-110mph.

    That's a full .3-.5 seconds slower than the cayman but ~2-4mph faster?

    There's a certain normal variance I understand - some cars are faster or slower out of the gate, even being RWD. But 106-107mph does not match a RWD car pulling a 12.7

    $10K is a lot for the extra displacement. If I purchased the 2.7 liter, would I get to hear that flax-six wail more often around town? I like the looks, but it has the youthful aspect of a puppy, with its disproportionately bulbous roof. The Corvette has more athletic-looking proportions, but the surface detailing is less attractive.
