Explain these numbers: Carrera S vs 370Z

I guess a lot of people are missing the point because they haven't REALLY driven the p-cars. You know, it's not always about the 1320 times, skid pad numbers, and other data that 90% of us can't even replicate. It's about the experience. I come from an s2000 which undoubtedly has one of the best driving experience of any production car period. It may lack a LOT of power, have comfort features from the 80s, and generate so much road noise you can't carry on a conversation on the fwy, but no doubt it is one fun car to drive aside from a lotus. That is what building sports is all about. The p-cars have that key ingredient that justifies that extra dough. When I drove the 997.5 carrera s with pdk, it literally felt like a dream. I was scratching my head the whole day curious as to how one car can do everything so well. It feels quiet and comfy when you want it to, but when you don't, it feels just as connected and exhilarating if not more than the s2000. The Z does one thing well. The s2000 does the other thing well. But the p-car does everything well. It's really hard to explain how the car feels, but in the end, people buying these cars aren't buying it for the performance numbers. They're buying it for that key ingredient that most manufacturers still haven't figured out.
