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.

Around VIR the Evora does similar to a mustang GT. It's nothing to write home about imo. Not for the price.

Cool review! :tup:

To be fair, VIR full course is very much a power track.

vir grand not so much

He does the soundtrack for my exhaust.

:icon18:

The best thing about a cayman is its 171mph top speed. The worst thing is its $200 oil changes
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. :)

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.

I'm just excited that the Z was in an article. lol

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

Dude, some ricer slapped a badge on it....

It is, but then, so are most real-world driving situations except for maybe Tail of the Dragon or your weekend mall parking lot cone course.

Without the limiter, the 370Z tops out at 168mph according to my calculations (which as far as anyone has been able to tell have a VERY low margin of error).
