While a Porsche Cayman or 911 seem down on power, engine placement makes up for it. And they way they handle and drive are just almost inexplicably better. Think about what has happened with the C8. The C7 has the same weight/HP ratio but the C8 is 3/4 sec faster to 60 and almost a second quicker through the 1/4 mile. Engine placement changed the dynamic.
As for Porsche as a whole, I used to think they were expensive and they are, but you definitely get what you pay for and it sits in a perfect strata between the also rans and the exotics. It can be a very bespoke semi hand built vehicle that is ranked right up there with Toyota/Lexus from a quality perspective. So yes, I’m kind of a Porsche fanboy now.
