Explain these numbers: Carrera S vs 370Z

sonic370

There not comparing apples to apples.

How about comparing the 370 with any other 2 seat sports car
with a v6 that cost under 40 grand.

Here we go again, I cant beat the other car so mine is still better cuz its cheaper and is almost as fast. Well there are other things than spped with cars like Porsche and Audi and BMW. All around quality and even status quo.

I think we will be hard pressed to get that 0 60 time on an avg road and an avg driver. Really need a great 60 ft to get that.

The top price for a Z is 47k on the convert. A boxster starts where the Z ends and the cayman is just a few thousand more. Its not a perfect match but an honest comparison,
The flipside is. In spite of the fact. You can get a base Z for thousands less giving u. 2/3 the experience of a porsche. Its still a great car and in the right hands a Z can do the quarter in 13.1 seconds. That's nothin to sneeze at. You can go a lot faster, if you spend the same money and buy a camaro SS or mustang GT, but you lose handling.
The Z has no real comp under 40k anyway. The solstice coupe never happened, plus they were 4 bangers and every other so-called competitor is either a GT or roadster. At the end of the day. Porsche is a semi handbuilt sports car that revoltionizes the sports car arena in some form or fashion every decade. The Z is just trying to mimmick porsche performance at low cost. In my opinion, No Matter What is Said Here In This Thread! Even with all the Z shortfalls, The Z does a pretty good job at showing the lower income crowd how more expensive cars put in work. If you can afford a cayman S and its $200/15,000mi, oil changes. I don't even see why you'd even consider or compare a Z.

Because the cayman looks generic and I happen to enjoy being able to actually work on my car.

The Cayman looks generic? What else looks like it other than another Porsche?

Zsteve

JD Powers gives the 370Z 6 out of 10 and the Porsche 8 out of 10 so I dont know where you are getting that it needs more repairs than the Z.

And the Porsche is meant for older business men who want speed quality style class and dont want to look or sound like the younger need for speed guys. Trust me Evanna Trumo isnt going to get in your Z when there is a Porsche around too.
