Also very close.
Cayman use here that mid engine adventage.
In real life is even faster and running cost are lower as well. They did a geat job with new proper engine placed porsche.
996 GT3 still have a lot of fans, beceause its very mechanical, very feel-full. But it become more and more a collectors car.
