Is that a Z? No it's a Porsche

My pennies worth as Ive also owned both, and recently. Had a 2003 996.2 two years ago and earlier this year bought a 2010 370 roadster. Biggest shocks for me was how much cheaper the insurance was for the Porsche, The servicing costs was much cheaper for the Porsche £144.00 from Porsche and £207.00 from Nissan for the Z.
Parts too are a lot cheaper and the dealers at Porsche were so much more enthusiastic about the cars. They also had great days where you can go along and have an hour with a technician and a free breakfast too.
The Porsche was a lot older, granted. I love the 370 it's more "refined" and cheaper to buy and I loved those wide haunches in the mirror of my 911.

Porsches look nothing like Zs. Then again if I had a Porsche I would keep mine.

That's because you are in Europe and the lower shipping costs make everything cheaper then here.
