My one complaint about the 370 z is that it doesn't take rough roads with nearly grace of my Porsches. But it's still a fun car!
I picked 370z Nismo over used 2006 Cayman S because the Z was more of raw old school sports car feel to me than the Cayman S. It's been fun going to PCA events and beating Caymans and GT3s in autocross events. PCA guys call my car the Porsche killer. ...at least the nice guys do. Lol!

Yes I had some fun with my Lotus Esprits in the same sense. One could pull up to the track, take out lunch suit up and just go driving and be quite happy. Others would have a mechanic or 2 and need some assistance and my little 4cyl turbo would do the business for me no technical assistance required.
I am not surprised to hear you have the same luck and fun with the Nismo! I considered a Cayman prior to the purchase of the Z but loved the feel of the Z. The Cayman was a known quantity for me and I have had alot of mid engine experience. Time for something different and here in Germany, the Z is almost exotic in the sea of Caymans/Boxsters/911's here in the South of Germany. Im quite happy with the choice.
