The Z was a more rambunctious muscley type car in terms of behavior. Though the Z was able to be more precise than the cayman. It took more effort to achieve that precision. The z beat the cayman S by a hairline win, but in other tests the cayman has also won. It's been boiled down to a drivers race or brutish muscle versus refinement or which one can you afford?
Ok, thank you for the explanation. With having that said, people would really rather have a Cayman S compared to a 370z when they are soooo close in performance and so much different in price?

Maybe im missing something but it just doesn't add up to me...

Yes they're very close in performance, but it's how you get that performance and the overall feel of the car that sets the Porsche apart.

Again, if you haven't driven one it's hard to understand.
