Well from what I have read here I must be going in the wrong direction... Prior to my Z which I just purchased and totally enjoy I had a 996TT, Viper GTS which I loved but was always paranoid about parking them and or getting in an accident.

That is why I feel free in my Zzzzz!

How did you like your 996 Turbo compared to the Nissan ? . .

I'm wondering how they compare to eachother, cuz I'd think the newer car is usually the better choice

That's nice to have two different cars for your personal choice. The 370z was designed w/ the Cayman as its benchmark. Would a Cayman be an upgrade from the Z or not ? . . .

I always wanted to own a Porsche, I just hate the fact that the I can't do much of the general maintenance on it...It would have to be used of course as the retail is stupid as it depreciates by $20K in the first year. I've driven the Cayman and its like, well, no other car; very precise and purpose built like the Z.

88 is a lot and that's not the only difference between the 996 and the 370Z. The Porsche is on a completely different level.

Yeah, there's definitely more of a difference than just the horsepower. . .the 996 Turbo would have been the pinnacle of Porsche's road and racing engineering for the 911 in the early 2000's.
