Who owns both a Porsche and a 370 z?

EP350Z

I have a 1979 911 sc and a Z but its a (350z). I would say the porsche is alot more fun to drive for speed and just to cruise. But when it comes to maintenance, it makes you wish you never invested the time and money into it!

If Porsche cars are "so good" why do people constantly mention high maintenance costs and headaches. Seems to me they drive well for a while until something breaks then the headaches begin.

It's not necissarily something breaking. It's just the cost of maintenance for a vehicle of that pricepoint. The Porsche really is unlike other vehicles in the same class with it's powerplant, structural rigidity and finely tuned suspension. When you own one and only then and you drive it in all sorts of conditions, you will know what I am talking about.

The killer is taking it in for regularly scheduled maintenance and paying out the nose. But that's just the pricepoint of the vehicle. I'm sure it's just that much more ridiculous for an Aston Martin.

My dream car will always be new GT2RS. With that said, the way my Z sits now with modifications and the touring package interior, anyone driving a Porsche that is faster and handles better paid too much because the DIFFERENCE in performance is miniscule compared to the PRICE difference. In other words, I'm almost keeping up (beating in some cases like a any stock Porsche up to a Carrera or even a Carrera S model) with a car that they paid waaaaay more for. For that kind of price difference, my Z is too close in overall luxery and performance. And unless their driving a GT3, GT2 or Carrera GT, my Z is still getting more looks on the street.
