Drove a Porsche cayman earlier. Lovely looking car but got to say that it wasn't brilliant. Performance is good, but not earth shattering in a straight line. Manual gearbox was a touch fiddly. Very easy to get 4th instead of 2nd on a downshift. Seating position was dreadful if you're my height. Couldn't really get my knees under the wheel and leave enough room to steer well. Sounds good though when giving it stick.
I'd have said a sorted WRX will have no issues keeping up with one or even getting away, especially when the going gets straight.
Secondly - new BMW M3. Didn't drive one but there was one in front of me round the private race track that is luckily shaped identically to the raith interchange. It looks fantastic, and it appears to go well, but either the driver lacked the balls or again .... it's not as fast as the price seems to dictate.
