You probably want a vette for the sense of culture and life style and cache that goes along with it. The Z tends to carry a younger tuner life style that doesn't appeal to all. I too was thinking vette till I went and drove one now I'm fully set on getting a Z. I'll be coming from a tight nit car culture and so far I haven't quite seen the same type of Culture around the Z. But I will say this site is a lot closer than my350z.com.

I figure I would throw my 2 cents in. Just closed a 2 month long search for a new car. I had an 06 S2000 for 4 years. I loved that car but it was time to find something new. I really wanted a corvette so I test drove several new vettes from a base to a grand sport and even a used Z06. I then drove a couple of other cars like an M3, 370Z, 335i, 5.0 mustang (just for good measure), etc. When it was all said and done, I really couldn't beat the complete performance compared to the price of the Z. And in most cases the Z outperforms more pricey cars. In my opinion it is the best car for the price. Not to mention, a TT setup and you are right there with the corvette's power.

I did find a used S for ~39k that I was considering, but at the end of the day I liked the Z more.

No, the new / 09+ (DI 320hp) Cayman S is in another league compared to the Z in both performance and feel. The new Cayman S competes better with the E92 M3. The Z is a good bang for you buck but don't kid yourself.

I was considering a Cayman S but then I decided the maintenance bill would be too rich for me.

I don't know about everybody else, but I could never see myself in a car that has an a-hole reputation. That's right...I'm talkin' about you, Caravan owners!

I'm thinking of getting rid of the Z and getting back into an S2000cr or 2007 gpw/red S2000. I miss the s2000 all the time , and realy miss the convertable!

Throw the Z on the track and if you just rate raw performance. Z the is just as capable. For half the price I will take capability over refinement. The porsche is a great car but I love my "Crude lil Z". |
