2007 Cayman S 2010 370z Rolex Vs Seiko Vs Omega

optiontrader · 10-19-2010, 10:52 PM

Everytime I lay into the throttle, I think to myself: "damn, this is a lot of fun for $36k!".

Do yourself a favor and DON'T test drive the Cayman. I did, and seriously considered stretching, but I would be eating into the cash earmarked for the improvements on our home we just bought.

If you're coming from a 280, you'll love the 370Z - it's a bit rough around the edges, but a lot of car for the money.

My other end of the spectrum was the MazdaSpeed 3 and GTI (did you know these come with a dual clutch transmission?), but fully optioned out, the 370Z was only several thousand more (minus 2 seats).

If you're shaking your head at the price of a P-car, even used, I'd drop the crosshairs down a notch.

Oh, my dream watch is a Patek, but I own a Seiko chronograph that I bought on sale.

I have a real Rolex, but i drive a 370Z. If I traded the 370Z for a Cayman S, I would have to go grocery shopping and pay with foodstamps.

Rolex + Cayman S = No more money = Foodstamps.

??? Not going down this route. I never said objectively the Cayman was superior - just my subjective opinion (damn nice car!!!). Maybe OP can test drive it and prove to himself the P-car doesn't feel more refined, planted, telepathic?, etc. But I bet he won't reach that conclusion.
