What I like to hear is that the Z is balanced under acceleration. That should make turning a lot more exciting.

The 370z IMO, looks way too better, very aggressive and bold, What I do like from the Cayman, fiscally, is that it looks kind of more slimmer, lower and it makes the steel look like more stronger. I don't even know how to describe the last one lol.

Great review indeed. I especially noticed this part:

Quote:

The stout chassis soaks up harshness — arguably, better than its more luxurious Infiniti G37 twin — and the engine turns more slowly than the Porsche at interstate speeds. The seats are comfortable, wind noise is minimal, and the stereo's pretty good. Though the Z is classified as a sports coupe, it masquerades well as a grand tourer.
When I drove the G37 I felt the ride was too unrefined for a car claiming to have GT cred. Good to know the Z34 has this aspect licked, at least according to the Stu. And the stereo, I wonder if the car he drove had the Bose system or the default setup? Hmmm.

That picture is sex the Z34 looks like its ready to eat the Cayman. The cayman looks good but if you spend enough time in Germany(I've been stationed here for 6 years) Seeing a Porsche really is nothing its like seeing mustangs in the states. You go on a 20 minute trip and you will see at the minimum 5 Porsche on your trip.

My Landlords son works for Porsche and he gets to take a car for the weekend sometime he had a white one the day before I left so I got to see the new Cayman S last week as I was there on my R&R I told him about the new Z and showed him pictures of it and he thought it looked amazing.


But he did have a 911 one weekend and gave me a ride in pouring down rain and that thing hugged the autobahn like nothing I seen before an amazing ride!!!

true true and so true :icon17:

You can say that too here in Orlando.

You do know the Z is a weak car as well right? Don't get me wrong I love my Z but there are far faster and better handling cars out there on the market. Street racing is stupid period. Doesn't matter what you are racing or who you are racing against.

This article is an interesting read since we know a lot more of the two cars nowadays. I've driven several Cayman S and this article is pretty spot on, but maybe a little too nice to both cars.
The 987 Cayman S feels very old tech compared to the Z but in the infamous words of Hans Solo, "she’s got it where it counts". While you can get into a stock Cayman, push it hard, and not have any issues all weekend, in a Z you are saddled with a ton of cooling issues (oil, brakes, diff) and fuel starvation.

Well outside of the necro bump, was nice to read this article.

A Cayman S parks 2 spots over from me in the underground condo parking. A neighbour with the New AudiTT RS says he loves my Z way better. Validated lol.

The article was pretty nice to both cars though...
