If you can afford it and you want it, I don't think you will be sad over the move. At the same time, don't expect anything more than the Porsche nametag.
The Cayman feels way more nimble than the Z, with almost the same power to match.
The Corvette is the same width as the 370, but it feels a lot bigger and wider. The Corvette is a LOT quicker than the 370. Now that's an upgrade in terms of performance, yet there was something about the car I personally didn't feel comfortable with it. Maybe it's the attention or just the fact the car is scary to drive fast. I am getting too old to crash into things, I will stick with my slow 370. Personally the car I would get is the Audi TTS, but once again I would be paying money for an AWD drivetrain without much gain in performance overall.

I get 0 attention on the road. My Ram-Air F-body got more. Love the 'vette for that reason. There are a lot of them around and people don't hassle you over it and want to talk to you about it and take your time everywhere you go to pump gas. If you want people riding your nuts get a Viper or something.
As to fast, yes, the car is scary. Just keep your foot out of it and you will be fine, though. The car is VERY docile when you are acting sensible.
