Also, being a porsche owner just seems like it would be embarrassing somehow. Getting out of a Porsche just seems to say "I'm an annoying dweeb".

It just seems weird that the regular 370Z is being compared to the Cayman S instead of the regular Cayman in most of these. I'm guessing there is going to be very little difference between the NISMO ans the S when they go head to head (well, except the price

)

I definitely thought about the Caymen before I bought the Z but in the end it just screams ”I bought a caymen because I couldn't commit for a 911". Personally I don't like driving the lowest tier model a manufacturer has to offer.

I disagree completely. The cayman chassis is far superior to the 911. Mid engine vs engine in the butt.
I'd take a Cayman S over a base 911 any day.
That lowest tier thing seems like a pretty BS pretentious excuse. The car doesn't scream that, the driver does.

PS. The F430 is the "lowest tier" Ferrari...

Wouldn't that be the boxster?

That's what I thought too, but then I thought maybe you don't have them in America, so I kept quiet!

You obviously have NO CLUE what you are talking about. Total D-bag statement. I have a Z, Porsche, and other cars. I know my ****, you clearly do not.
