Looks Only: 370z or Cayman S

Read T · 03-07-2013, 09:18 AM

Looks only?
Cayman.

Performance
Cayman.

What I would buy
370Z.

Cayman is a great track car, but yeah it's a girl car imo. My Pops is a porsche guy and the cayman according to him is one of the best bangs for the buck you can buy for the track, but it's sort of what porsche owners buy their wife.

I wouldn't drive it. Go 911 S/GT or get something else.

370Z all the way ...

The Caymans front looks like a Volkswagen Beetle

Looks: 370z

Driving: Caymen S

Now if this were a 911 GT3 or something along those lines, Porsche would take the looks as well!

Side profile. Z

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.

Oh and I forgot one other aspect. Engine noise- CAYMEN S by a large margin. Can't beat that flat 6 sound!

You can change that with a intake, but even then, the VQ is still no Porsche boxer six engine.

IMO, "bang for the buck" and "Porsche" should never go together.

There's a reason they're the most profitable car brand, making close to $30k profit per car sold.

Vs old Cayman : 370Z

Vs new 2013/14 Cayman: Cayman

The new body style is pretty damn sexy.

The cayman reminds me of some type of cat, i.e. a chettah, leopard etc. The Z has a much more muscular look which I prefer. Both good cars, and at the track as well.
