Take that with a grain of salt. In Motor Trend's previous opinion the ZR1 is better than a 911 GT2, Nissan GT-R, and Ferarri 599 (twice). Would you rather be driving any of those or a Cayman S? Do you think Motor Trend would choose the Cayman S in that company?

I do agree with not needing to be on a racetrack to feel a difference in handling, but the Z06 is supposed to handle decently. I think it would make more of a difference if a Viper was in the mix rather than the Z06.

.
Maybe. Their reasons for picking the Cayman this time were mostly because of "soft stuff" like ease of use, predictability, accuracy, steering feel, outward vision, etc. I can't see any of those other cars being better in those areas. Only power and styling maybe.
