I have owned a 370Z and it is the best bang for the buck in it's price range. I currently have an '09' Cayman S with PDK, PASM and Sport Chrono Plus. Having driven both cars on the track and street I give the nod to the Cayman. At higher limits there is more confidence in the Cayman. With the PDK set to Sport Plus it is an amazing transmission. The 370 6 speed with rev match is a great product but it can't do what the PDK can on track.

You'll be north of $70k by the time you tick off the options on the Cayman, about double the 370Z. So is it worth it? I'd say the average person would say no. But if it doesn't bother you to spend the extra the Cayman is fun both on and off the track with great fit and finish thrown in.

However, you can take a sport/touring 6 speed 370Z toss in $10-15K of the savings and have a rocket with at least $20k left in your pocket. It just gets down to what you value. It's nice to have choices.

:iagree:

Good friend of mine had a Caymen S for a while and it is a great machine. It is nice to have choices :p

John

sorry but the cayman is hardly a realistic choice. to pay so much money for a car that is only marginally faster than the z is ridiculous. at that price range, there are so many better options on the market. Like an m3 or a used 911 carrera. or even just fork out the extra few thousand and upgrade to a gt-r. and its exterior looks really lame, too conservative, passive and girly.

:iagree:

This is America and you're certainly entitled to your opinion, but that is just what it is...... your opinion. As the original poster said....... it's nice to have choices. Thanks for sharing yours :tiphat:

wtf's going on here!

Ridiculous? The people who can afford these cars arent losing sleep about saving a buck.

I agree, they are happy to waste their hard earned bucks on a badge.

Which is fine. It's not like I want everyone driving Zs, right? The more options the better.

Does it bother you that other people drive a Porsche? I could care less, if they like the car and can afford it more power to them. Really don't see the need to attack them or the car.

No way. I wish all the people buying Zs would go buy porches as a matter of fact. I want to be the only 370 I see during my commute :icon17:

Guess what, I AM the only 370 I see on my commute :tup:

Ive seen one, but only once every couple weeks.
Anyway, I highly doubt if "some people" won the lottery tomorrow, they would be saying "I'm going to buy a nissan, it's the economical choice after all."

Pissing on people's choice's isn't cool!
