Anyone go from a Corvette to a 370??

The PDK Cayman S is a really fun car to drive. I think anyone who test drives the Cayman will prefer it if money is not the primary issue. FYI, Last Sept there was a LOT of Porsche trunk money, you could have gotten 20% off new 2010 Cayman and 911s. I could have bought a $76K Cayman S with Sports Chrono, PDK and other options for $63K. You could save another $2500 by not getting the PDK. For me it was still more then I wanted to spend in this economy.

You also mentioned road feel. The 2008 C6 steering was better then the '07. The Z is better then both and feels more nimble to me. Very few cars are as confidence inspiring and have as good road feel as a Cayman. Placing the Cayman is much easier because you are farther up, closer to the front wheels. Vetts are probably 12" farther back, probably more like 20" in your Vipers? The Z is better then the C6 but not the Cayman in this respect.

Personally, confidence inspiring is probably more important to me then ultimate performance for the street. There is a saying that "driving a slow car fast is more fun then driving a fast car slow". I think that is why the Miata is so popular? The Z is not a slow car by any means, it's a nice balance for the street. It's hard to use more power without more room to run.

Like someone said, change is nice if you have been driving your Z06 for a while. I just bought a Z after a couple of C6s for a change. For the money it's hard to go wrong with a Z. Great car. Test drive both the Nismo back to back with the Cayman to determine if the extra refinement is worth the extra money. You can't make a wrong choice!
