Did you watch the comparison on 5th Gear it think it was last week?
Where Tiff was finding the understeer of the Cayman annoying in comparison to the Lotus....
I was sure he said it could use an LSD to help rotate it about the corners

Steve - The Cayman he was testing had an LSD, i'm not convinced about the understeer, with PSM off oversteer is no problem?
Martin - Yeah you could get a Cayman S for less than an Evora, interesting how they didn't test the S which is a more comparable car in terms of price.

Tiffany Dell used to complain about the understeer in the NSX as well.
Like the Gaybar, it's set up with a lot of castor, to protect the numpties.
Like most Hondas, you can drive round it with the throttle steer & by trail braking, which one must employ in many ME cars anyway.
The Evora uses fast steering, which disguises the understeer a bit and it is sort of easier to get a decent slide going. But it is a big car to catch.
I don't think Tiffany understands this, judging by the way he used to wreck tyres on the telly.

Congratulations!!!
Just beware of deer and Audi A3 drivers!
I was really surprised at how flimsy the front bumper is after seeing the results of the deer incident ..... and at the £5K repair bill

Bumpers are designed to do that & Porsches are commendably light. The weight saving has to come from somewhere.
Having said that, it's shocking how big the repair bills are...
