TESTED: Porsche 718 Cayman Handling Dynamics vs 2020 Toyota GR Supra

AMCI Testing’s goal is to bring accurate, data-based evaluations to the world of automotive reviews over social media. Please look at our drivers’ qualifications and achievements. Listen to the tone, depth, and technical level of our discussions. Look at the details on our test protocols and our fair, even-handed approach to evaluating everything automotive. And then please let us know what you think!
Of course, we need to get the elephant out of the room right away: Toyota paid AMCI Testing to do exploratory testing on their new 2020 GR Supra vs. the best competition in the business. Were they hoping we would find advantages to talk about? Absolutely. Were those advantages ‘guaranteed’ (wink, wink) because they paid us to investigate? The honest answer is, “No.” Our 35-year reputation has been built on telling the truth and fabricating nothing. Our clients know this going in, and many have come away from our programs without the results they hoped for.
As an example and in full disclosure, the 2019 BMW M2 Competition beat both the 2020 GR Supra and the 2019 Porsche 718 Cayman PDK-by the narrowest of margins-in our dry-pavement slalom. All three of these cars are extraordinary, and we hope you agree that we treat them as such. We’d welcome any of them into our garage-but which is right for you?

AMCI TESTING CERTIFICATION-PROTOCOL OVERVIEW:
Our certification protocol is based on the statistical imperative for unbiased, repeatable results:
- AMCI Testing Certified performance is a multiple-driver average of each vehicle’s fastest laps within a window of repeatability
- Handling was the focus of our track test; as such, we chose a highly technical configuration at Streets of Willow Springs
- Streets Of Willow Springs lap times were an eight-lap average-not a single lap
- More than 175 total laps were run to calculate each car’s window of repeatability and optimize electronic vehicle settings. All available configurations were tested and then set to provide the best performance for each vehicle. All cars were run with Electronic Stability Control off
- Toyota Motor North America supplied a zero-mile, production-conforming 2020 GR Supra for this test. AMCI Testing obtained the 2019 BMW M2 Competition and 2019 Porsche Cayman PDK new from authorized dealers
- All vehicles underwent AMCI Testing’s break-in procedure. All vehicles had 2,000 break-in miles at the start of the track test and were broken-in per manufacturers’ recommendations
- Track testing was conducted on new, scrubbed, OE tires

Clever to compare a bmw m2 competetion with the cayman base model and not the S version. 410 hp vs 300. makes a lot of sense. oh wait..

audio is awful ----- I thought you guys are professionals ---- This is ridiculously bad

[@robertgaylord8263]

Agreed, the audio is terrible. If you expect someone to listen to your opinions clean up the audio so we can understand what you're saying.
