370Z or Boxster?

Porsche has a classic design that is still gorgeous even today, after years of slight tweaking. The design is timeless.

Both are great cars with their issues. I have not owned both but have driven both. They are different animals. For a roadster, the Boxster is very stiff maybe stiffer then the 370Z hardtop. The Boxster feels more refined as it whines toward redline. The 370Z feels very masculine and rough in comparison. No one will rate the Boxster down on its' handling which is superb. Funny how some folks will say "don't get the Boxster they are not a real porsche, get the Cayman". They are the same vehicle just one with a hardtop. It is interesting how the Cayman got a better rep due to coming out later with different press. The Cayman is a tad stiffer then the Boxster but since the vehicle was designed as a roadster, very few would push the car hard enough to tell the difference. Given that the Boxster S has done 0-60 in 4.1 with the PDK and will out corner a 911, it is not a slow wimpy vehicle. Now is it better then the 370Z? It depends. As I said, they are different animals. Given the price difference, The Z would be the better bargain but it is what you want in a car.
