2009 Porsche Cayman S PDK (0-60 in 4.5 secs)

RCZ

All the stuff you mentioned are only benchmarks that magazines use to compare cars so that everyone can understand.

In practice you have a car with a super fast PDK transmission. You have a LIGHTER car with just as much HP and more torque. Its also mid engined setup with porsche pedigree. The Cayman is going to be easier to drive fast, not to mention the BRAKES are actually going to hold up for more than two laps. Also it has a real LSD. It comes with a better suspension setup too, one that is adjustable. More than likely better tires as well. Its not just the porsche brand name that makes it worth twice as much as the base Z.


And to the other comment, yes. Of course modding anything changes everything. Lets put racing slicks on the Z and OMG ITS FASTER!!! go figure!

If you came up to me and said pick one and you can mod it. I take the Z. If you say I cant mod it, then I'll take the Porsche.

Which one do I prefer? The Z. I'm not here because I can't afford the Cayman. I'm here because the Z is awesome value with amazing potential. I'm more of a purist, I like doing everything myself. I'd much rather work on a Nissan than a Porsche. Caymans are for people who can't afford 911's. I'd MUCH rather spend less on the car and more on the mods. I don't think I'm the only one here with that mentality.
