I agree with you about the cost of maintenance, it's a total rip-off. In fact, I could afford a used 08' with low mileage, but it's the cost of maintenance and repairs that puts me off.

But I...

You don't need to be "filthy rich" to buy the Porsche, just reasonably affluent. Now tell me, what is "filthy" about being rich?

Porsche is better at getting more power to the wheels. Also, the power figures for the Carrera are pre-PDK, so that can't be the reason.

You are so right. The heavily modified Z drives away any classy babes, while the unmodified Porsche will pull them in like a magnet.

These women know the modified Z is owned by a kid who doesn't...

With the cost of a Porsche it better perform better. Just buy the best car you can afford and enjoy it, so what if the Porsche is faster. If you owned the Porsche would you be happy if the 370z...

I wonder just how much the STP changed the specs on the 0w30 AMSOIL.
I guess I'll change it after 5000 miles to the 5w30 AMSOIL that some others are having good experience with.

I don't expect the device to increase the power, but I do want a much faster response to my right foot action. Right now, it's especially frustrating when blipping the throttle for a downshift. My...

Well I couldn't help myself and I just had to know, so I poured in a 12oz bottle of STP oil treatment. I know it's sacrilege, but I figured the small amount of STP wouldn't significantly affect the...

Good point. I intend to continue using AMSOIL, but I will try a different viscosity for my next change.

I was thinking of trying the European spec oil they offer, but I wonder if this engine can...

Yes, I am revving in neutral at a stand still, and I have noticed that there is a rev limit of about 4500 rpm when in neutral and a no load condition. No doubt this is a good thing.
