Rear Z

car height. Porsche
Stance. Porsche.
Car length. tied

Wheel design Z.
Exhaust outlet Z.

I guess Z by a narrow margin.

But this new 2013/14cayman now... I say Porsche by a narrow margin

I'm in this camp.

Cayman S owner in my condo building actually came up to me while i was washing my Z and said he would have liked his Cayman to look as aggressive as my Z

That was all i needed to hear

I like them though overall

I'm going to say 370Z because it just looks more aggressive in all aspect - front, side and rear. But if you're a little older, you may like the styling of the Cayman. If I ask this question to a 23 year old, he will instantly pick the Z. But if same question asked to a 31 year old male, he may pick the Cayman. I wish Z had the (sports pack) rear spoiler. I feel that makes the Z look better.

He says it at 3:49 "Porsche looks a bit girly"

Yeah...

And why does it have hemroids??? (By the license plate)

And I agree with AK, on that first pic, and with every 370, if it doesn't have a rear spoiler, I think it's quite ugly... So in that instance if I couldn't add a spoiler to the 370, I'd take the Gayman, but I'd leave it in the garage on jack stands so I can just say it's broken... Not

Overall everything. I prefer to own a new Z than a used cayman. But a used 911? I would have to think long and hard depending on the 911 model and specs.

NitrousZ34 · 03-06-2013, 09:52 PM

Your Z looks pretty identical to mine lol

mayday813 · 03-06-2013, 09:56 PM

I like 'em both....but, I sure couldn't afford the maintenance expenses on the Cayman S. If the Z was the Touring Sport model w/rear spoiler I would favor the Z.

I call shenanigans on this photo. Your profile says you're in Berea yet I don't see any snow or rivers on fire

You're asking the wrong people. Why would 370Z guys buy a car and then admit something like a Cayman S was better looking? We're biased admit it or not. My first choice was a used 50k Cayman S until I saw a Z coming in at 38 new. Value became more important than $pending big bux on pure German engineering. The only thing that bugged me about the Cayman were the two gigantic bumper tabs that stick out on the rear. It is is just plain ugly. As for it's weight, you can tell which one of the two is about 400 lbs. heavier.
