Yeah I thought the same thing when I first read the results (didn't read the article).

Have you driven both and tested them yourself? Any number of things could have happened. The one advantage I can think of that the Cayman has is more weight near the rear of the car which would help grip off the line. Are the articles real road tests or just comparisons talking about the two cars with factory figures?
