Porsche has a bit of a Cayman complex. You know what that is, right? The Cayman, being a mid-engine car, is a great platform for big power and track performance. Unfortunately, Porsche has to keep it down a little bit lower than its ultimate potential, because it can't be faster or quicker or lap any given track better than a 911 can. The …

https://youtu.be/yl8e9ReWRJ8 Three of the best mid-tier track cars available today, all with similar weight and power. Yet, their characters are distinct.

Three cars with similar silhouettes, sizes, and power outputs. Yet, the difference between them is enough to write a few pages on.

Big wings, a gaping maw, the right amount of badging, and an exhaust note that sounds the business. All these qualities solidify the impression of aggression this car leaves on anyone looking at it for more than two seconds. Oh—and its 414 horsepower also helps.
