Looks Only: 370z or Cayman S

bvl

I think this has been covered in other threads...but here goes again.

1. Weight: cayman is lighter
2. physics: yes the engine really is in the middle, and it does matter
3. phenomenal steering feel: this is just a design, and a system working together. 991 goes to electric and may not be quite as good but the bar was already very high
4. Materials: cabin is made of more premium items for the most part. One exception: NAV unit in the Z is very good compared to PCM in 987 Porsches. The 991 is better but I think I still prefer the Z's unit. 991 interior has more updated look and feel where as the 987 cars are a bit more classic Porsche

We own both, both have their virtues but to say a Z is hands down a better driving car means you probably have not lived with both.

Parts are more on zee germans, but how many people here would pay $200/y for a oil change on a porsche (10K OCI, M0/40 yes you can DIY) vs. $160/y for 2 Z oil changes using synthetic/ester (3750 intervals by factory manual).

Hmm...maybe its really not that much more to maintain one for the first X years?
