Now with a mid-engine design, a different kind of Corvette takes on Porsche yet again—but it’s a different kind of Porsche, too.
—and with the price disparity, obviously the Porsche loses this comparison test, then? We can't deem it"obvious." As ever, the Porsche more than justifies its price; study the test numbers for a clue as to why. The Cayman GT4 RS very nearly keeps up with the vastly more powerful Corvette Z06 to 60 mph, around our figure-eight course, on the skidpad, during emergency braking, and more.
Sporting nearly 200 hp less than the Corvette, the 718 Cayman GT4 RS shows what effect mass has on performance. By weighing some 450 pounds less, its power-to-weight ratio approaches the Corvette's, with the gap between their figures far narrower than the two cars' horsepower differential. Just as important is how the mass affects each car's feel. The GT4 RS simply moves more lightly on its tires than does the Z06, which feels massive by comparison.
If the Porsche could do something better, it's, well, everything off-track. Yes, both of these cars are designed to devour racetracks, but the Corvette is more satisfying off of one. The Cayman GT4 RS is more one-dimensional, what with its fixed-back seats, stiff ride, and cabin noise levels that rival the inside of a jet engine.
