I like the brute nature of the 370. And the Cayman does look like a girlie car compared to the Z....loved that description in the video. Girl has hips!
Lots of truth in what you say. This is what most people miss in these debates about the more expensive cars. The feel they provide, feedback, visceral experience is really what you are paying for. Given the means, I'd have both, because to me, the Z is that good. It will always be difficult to replicate that "feel" those cars give you.

I know on some other forums a few people have sold off their GTR's for this reason, it just didn't give that experience they were looking for.
