They also get a PDK gearbox an engine that can be driven all day on the track without going into limp mode. The only advantage the Z has is its price.
I'm not Porsche hating. They are awesome cars. I can't afford one, but I'm not sure I would buy one even if I could. I can't see myself spending $80k+ on any car!

But the Porsche isn't just "any car" haha

True, if you're looking for a wallet-friendly car, the Porsche's aren't the route to go, you know how much labor it takes to replace the sparks on those mid-engines?? lol

If you were a Millionaire several times over I bet you would spend that much on a car, agains its about what your money level can afford.

I would rather have a car that everyone thinks is slower, and is awed when they find that its not. I also find that its better to have a few different cars than one that I can afford.

This knucklehead almost bought it when he got on it w/ those low temps. All that power is just unneccessary on the street. If you're that concerned about being showed-up by someone in a faster car, you have problems (inferiority complex). Buy what in the Hell you want and don't worry about some other dudes faster car. There will always be a faster car unless you're rolling in a top-fuel funny car and they don't handle worth a damn. I bought a 370Z and a Frontier 4wd crew cab for less than the price of a Cayman S and do not regret it at all. I prefer the Z's low cost (maintenance/purchase price/repair) over the Porsche. The Cayman S is a wonderful car, just not for me.
