I wouldn't be surprised anymore if Porsche came out with another 997 model...

The thing that threw me off was the weight.

The weight is ~190 pounds lighter than the US Spec C2 (all the weights are grossly underestimated from Porsche) which was within the realm of believability, given the lost sunroof, A/C, Radio/Speakers/Amp, TFT TV Screen, Alu doors, Sport Buckets, Light Wheels, Lightweight Headlights, Sound Deadening, Light Exhaust, Center Console, etc.

Right, I never thought the car would weigh actually under 2,900 pounds, but I did think that spec could be true in the context of what Porsche says their other cars weigh. The weight figure wasn't enough to make me think it was a joke (but I did check the calendar a couple time to be sure it wasn't April 1st )

Cayman R is:

1. lighter (2855 lbs.)
2. better weight distribution (mid-engine)
3. same 0-60 times
4. $20k cheaper
5. is actually available (no joke)
