That was painful.

Saw the white RX-8, 33-35 seconds into the vid, if that's what you mean, OP.

*EDIT*

So many GT-R's lined up!

It was a porsche driver, so undoubtedly he was talking on his cell phone while drinking his latte or trying to see his reflection in the paint of other vehicles. LOL.

Thats a bad day.

I think that was a 911, the cayman has a more curved front.
Plus it has the 911 kit on it, and spoiler.

Definately 911. It has a rear side window for the backseat. The cayman does not.

It was a Cayman, which also has rear quarter windows. The fenders and rear end gave it away easily.

Agreed all the way... Was a Cayman for sure.

He pulled behind a 911 after the collision though. I can't imagine how bad that Cayman owner must've felt after the incident. We're all humans, so stuff can happen with even the most perfect people... And perfect cars.

Dual center exhaust tips and air intake in the rear fenders = Cayman. The Cayman S is a great car and is a great value. Its 95% as good as the more expensive 911. With the money saved you can make it faster then a 911 and still have money left over. Plus its mid engine instead of rear and lighter.

For one thing, they handle very very differently.

Yah, upgrade the caymen suspension until it is comparable with a 911 and it will handle better. I dont know how many cooled tire and wet track oversteer 911 crashes prosche drivers are going to have to be in before Porsche ditches the nostalgic rear engine setup.

it already handles better and I heard they didnt fit the earlier caymans with rear diffs cause it would have made it faster that the carreras around a track.
