I certainly wouldn't consider it frightening. Our spyder at 1600 lbs and 280ish qualifies as "exciting" but not frightening. Around the same HP weight (spyder actually has more huevos per pound) and I guarantee that the Cayman has a MUCH better sorted chassis than our kit car.

More fun than a barrel full of monkeys, but probably not your ideal daily driver for all weather. Since the engine was pretty much in the passenger's compartment with you, and that thing looks like it was pretty thoroughly stripped down, I suspect it was LOUD! I wonder about the possibility of working A/C (although, probably not hard to mount a compressor to). Since it looks like it had been stripped down (since it seemed to be a track car) it would probably be as good a daily driver as any stripped down track car that's loud and probably not terribly comfortable.

I suspect with respect to driveability, it's probably as good or better than a stock Cayman. I'm sure that motor makes more torque through the entire rpm range than a stock Cayman or Cayman S motor which means that you could idle away from every stop if you wanted and idle around at 1000-2000 rpm all day long. So from that point of view, it would be an easier DD.

If you could get something that was a lower profile motor that fit in the engine compartment without the major mods, and leave the car otherwise fairly stock (assuming the brakes and suspension are up to handling the new power/speed), then it would make a spectacular daily driver.
