The Z period was meant to go after Porsche on design and performance. Whoever says it didn't needs to look up the history of the Z.

It was designed to go after the Cayman. It succeeded. Nissan has a storied history of attacking (and defeating) Porsche on the track. And with the GT-R now taking the crown from the Porsche GT3, Nissan is attacking on two fronts.

Why not go after them on the street?

AK, please close this thread. LOL, it is O/T to the max.

I'm sure Porsche is actually going to lose some business because of the new 370Z. There would also be much less people in the market for a used Porsche as well which would help lower the price tag. How funny is that to think that Nissan could create something that would cause some Porsche roadsters to depreciate a little more than they would have.

I highly doubt that Porsche is going to lose any customers. If you can afford one then you will get one, beside the US is only a very small fraction of their sales. Most buy Porsche for the status of it and not for a super fast car. Different demographics there.

Maybe not new Porsches, but I can say that a used Cayman was on my radar. I tested one, loved it, but could not get around the look of it. So I bought a new Z and saved money too.

Agree about the status aspect, at least around these parts. My dentist has a leased 911 Turbo. She confessed she does not drive it all that hard except when she accelerates onto the freeway

Well, maybe not any... But probably not very many.
