370Z or Boxster?

VW/Porsche should put the 3.8L 500hp twin turbo in the Boxster/Cayman and shake up the Super Car world. Cayman Turbo 4S. The 911 should have been killed a long time ago. Rear engine cars are really old school. Rear engine = Sh!tty design.

That is some statement...have you driven a Cayman? The engine placement makes a world for a difference. I love the the 370 and its front midship engine design, its a very balanced car. But the Cayman's mid engine setup is superior, drive one if you get a chance, its pretty amazing.

A "mid-engine” car has the engine in front of the rear axle but behind the passenger compartment = best design.
A “Rear engine” car = Sh!tty design.

Yes, I have driven them.

You do not say if you owned one AND driven one. There is a big difference like night and day.

If you actually owned one for some time, then I rest my case and I apologize.
