I have my Z because of a Cayman. I drove a Cayman R at the "Exotics Driving Experience" in Las Vegas. Never owned a sports car, but I was hooked. When I got home I started pricing 2-3 year old Cayman S and Boxter S models. Pricey! Then I started considering maintenance and upkeep. Then I started looking at alternatives. The Z jumped to the front in terms of cost, performance and maintenance cost potential (same as any other Nissan). I won't mod mine and don't race it, but it is nice to blow by the occasional idiot on the road. For my use the performance difference is negligible - and I do slightly prefer the Z looks over the Cayman/Boxter. Now if someone gave me a Porsche . . . any Porsche . . .
