They are pretty incredible. You pay a massive premium but if you can afford it I would say it's worth it. The Z gives you 90% of the thrills, 90% of the looks, and 75% of the quality at 50% of the price. That said there is pretty much no prestige with the Z but it isn't pretending...it's just a great car.

i owned a 1985 1/2 944 (Porsche people will know) and a 1988 911. both great cars. didn't own them for long. luckily no maintenance issues, but if I drove them every day for years I knew I couldn't afford it. sold 1 bc I got married and sold the other after my wife insisted she drive it more (see my previous "bad spouse drivers" post!). yes, not that comparable except all were a ton of fun. nothing handles like a Porsche. air cooled (pre-mid 90's) are desirable. heck, a lot of Porsche owners even dissed other non-911 models saying they aren't true porsches.
