[Roadholding, 300-ft-dia skidpad 0.82 g


FUEL ECONOMY:
2008 EPA city driving 16 mpg
C/D observed 19 mpg

Look at the weight difference its 900 pounds, how can you feel sporty driving a sherman tank lol, I love my sport suspension but its not a Porsche. All they tested was the xi model. Plus i dont think the caymen had the turbo rims with wheel spacers
Testing the xi model explains the .82. It probably had the standard all seasons. Put a standard model's sport package on it with 19 in. performance tires and you should see close to .9. Still not at the Porsche Cayman level but better than most cars.

Exactly, the xi does not have the sports suspension, including ARS, and they have all season tires that don't compare to the sports pkg staggered set up and good performance tires.
