Yes the price differential for nearly equivalent performance is hard to ignore.

I also like the fact that you can actually SEE the engine in the Z to work on it. When I had a Porsche, it seemed like the dealer mechanics sneered at anyone non-factory trained who touched it with a wrench: "Who are you with your sorry Craftsman tools, and your pittance of knowledge? You should not defile such a wonderous vehicle designed after years of effort by Germany's finest engineers"
