I rally enjoyed the 370z.
If you really want to drive your Porsche friend crazy ask him why the Germans can not keep up with the GTR or the Corvette ZR1, and when does he think they (Germany) will make a car that competes. Throw in a few internet videos, including that of published data to make your point and watch the denials and excuse making.

YouTube - Porsche 911 Turbo vs Nissan GT-R vs Audi R8 V10

YouTube - ZR1 Smokes GT-R: Chevy Corvette ZR1 vs. Nissan GT-R

If your buddy is like mine, you can further rub salt in his wounds by mentioning the financial savings as well.

You are only too old for a car if you can not hunch or bend into it without too much pain.

or even just show him the performance people are getting out of the Cayman S with aftermarket turbos, and how painfully obvious it is that porsche corporate is just trying to protect the image of the 911 by not releasing a cayman with a Turbo, because then everoyne would see that there is no reason to be spending 120k on a porsche 911 turbo. They still get to say they drive a porsche, get the same performance, and save 40k+
