iMotor - Caymen S vs 370z

AARC51

Like so many other things we, Americans, say "coupe" and the rest of the world says "coupé."

Think about it for the price difference you save between the two you could put an extra 10k into the Z and destroy the Cayman S.

I like the fact that the 370z is bench marked to the Porsche cayman s; however, a porsche is still a porsche. Essentially you're paying for the name and performance behind the badge. I remember I was cruising through some Porsche forums when a magazine did the comparison between the two, and people had nothing but "fan boy" remarks to say about the Porsche.

I think as a car enthusiast you should be able to appreciate cars such as the the cayman S and the 370z on different levels.

Nice video. I actually obsessed over the Cayman S for about a year before it was time to make a purchase this February. The 370z won me over, and I chose it over a 2 year old Cayman S.

As much as I love Porsche's, I agree with what the video said... the 370z just looks mean compared to the Cayman S. Now... the GT3 or Turbo on the other hand.... but thats apples and oranges.

It's "coupé" (coo-pay), it's never been supposed to be pronounced coupe. Coupé is a french noun meaning "cut", like we cut two of the four doors and now it's a coupé.

I know that, again I was being facetious. Here in the United States of America we tend to do things a bit different.

Amen. Although I'm notorious for switching it up. Was just at the eye doctor and I kept confusing him.

I too have been lusting for a Cayman S, until the 370Z arrived. I have yet to make my purchase. I've test driven '07 and '08 Caymans, both base and S models. Always with MT. I've driven their Tiptronic AT in a Boxster S and hated it. Nissan has done an excellent job with the 370Z and there is no better standard to strive for than a Porsche Cayman. A base Cayman costs over $50K, a full $20K over a base 370Z. In addition, the 370Z gives you more power, 332hp vs. 265hp in a base Cayman, more torque 270 vs 221, bigger wheels 18" vs. 17"($1235 for 18"), it's faster 5.3 sec 0-60 vs. 5.5, and HID lights ($1560 option on Cayman). The Cayman S starts at $60K, for that price you can buy a his and hers 370Z! The Cayman S, for all it's greatness is no where near twice better. Though, I do love it's engine sound!!
