We are in our own world. In our Z world, we talk about the next better item - in our case, a Porsche.

Now, be a member of Porsche forum like Pelican Parts or Rennlist. You will see that they also 'wish' or talk about the next better car -- be it a Ferrari or Lambo or whatever.

This is the law of relativity. We all wish or shoot for the next best thing. To be blunt and direct, we attempt to justify "settling" for the compromise car. Deep in our hearts, we wished we all have the extra 30 grand and have bought the Porsche. You may deny it, but deep inside, we all do.

We all dream and shoot for the next best thing. That is just human nature.

Oh, In case you are wondering, I do have a two-tone Rolex and 2 911s. I am currently and actively considering a 911 turbo or a Cayman.

Some people buy Craftsman and some buy McTools wrenches. Why buy McTools? Because some can. I, myself, am a Craftsman guy.

. I am here in this forum with you guys. We should all have a group hug for self-pity settling for the Z and wishing for a Porsche, a Bimmer, .... I never liked Ferraris. I do like Lambo's and Astons.


Will I buy a Lambo or a Vantage? Nah! I am not at that next level of higher dream.

I bet you a billion bucks that if you do have a billion bucks, you would not be driving a Z!!!!

What happened to this thread? Some poor guy asked for some help and his treatment has not been stelar.

I put 277,000 miles on my old 1978 280 Z. The 370 is twice the HP, and the rear end is much more stable, nor does the radiator leave you stranded. The oil temp on the 370 reminds me of the 280 water temp.
Of course 30 odd years newer so everything works. The 280 must have more room in the back (old memory) where the 370 has little by comparison , but the Cayman has less still.

Thats because he is saying the cayman and 370z are of the same car. Thats where he went wrong. I did not buy the Z as a pcar alternative. I dont even consider the cars to be that similar. This is like someone settling on a genesis instead of buying a G because 'its the same thing.' There u go, mistaken bargain hunter.
