Sure the porsche engine is quieter and overall storage space is double, but broken in two. The Z is a more attractive package between the two price points. The porsche steering wheel and console is bland. The Z looks more sporty inside.

What I do like about the cayman is that its lower to the ground and shorter in height. But I can modify my car to be lower and do 171 for a whole lot cheaper than a porsche, yet maintenence will be lower as well as insurance.

If I buy a porsche it would be one of the turbo 911 variants. And I can't afford that. :( ill stick with my Z and when its paid off. I will buy a used GT-R. :)

I am getting a Chikane yellow 2009 this weekend. It has Fairlady Z on the rear end. Is this significant? I know the yellow 2009 model was to commemorate an original 240 color. Also did the Fairladies have a Sports package equivalent. This has the big brakes, wheels and tires and also front a rear spoiler but there is no mention of a stiffer suspension that the sport package includes in the 2010 and 2011 models. Thanks

Is your car stock? I was always curious how the Cayman S would go vs. a Z, stock/stock in the real world.

I looked at both the Z and the Cayman, and I know the quality of the materials in the Porsche as supposedly better (Real suede, better cows died, maybe the clear coat was more expensive, I don't know, but it looked and felt the same). I just know that I would be very sad if all I got was the badge on the front and the uber-high service bills.

To me, the Berk does still make that sound (especially from outside the car). But it sounds great... like a really really pissed off Chewey.
