I spent Christmas with a Porsche owner.

I'm a life long Porsche guy and Z guy.. 370z is a nice economy priced sports car but in no way comes close to what new Porsches offer. For most new Porsche owners money really isn't an issue. They are buying a luxury sports car with a true racing pedigree. Bottom line if money is less of an argument the 991 slams the cheaply made Z car. 991 is much nicer car to live with day in and day out. Better performing safer with far more advanced features too.

A modded 370z is exactly that a modded Z. The car doesn't do well with higher levels of stock power unless you invest tons of money into suspension and drive train and even then ride quality ECT will be terrible compared to a Porsche and Porsche will still crush z in low traction situations.

Just appreciate z for what it is. Cheap economical fun. Lots of compromises made in z to keep costs low. On surface the car appears very capable but we all know flaws that come out after living with 370z for awhile. From over heating to ice brakes, to lack of rear end traction. List goes on.

GTR on the other hand is a real competitor to Porsches in my opinion but then it's over 100k now. I think a base 991 may be an easier car to live with than a GTR however.
