I smile whenever I hit the apex of a turn and begin powering out. That is what matters to me I guess. And yes. THE SOUND!

I'd say its more like Tag Heurer verses a Casio. Rolex would be more like Rolls Royce. Porsche Cayman certainly doesn't reach into true status car in my book. It's truly entry level Porsche. Status car in Porsche mighT Be Panamera turbo or a GT3 RS? cayman really doesn't cut it as status car. Plenty Cayman S can be had for mid 30k used - less than a new 370z. Good luck finding used Rolex for price of a Seiko!
And do we want to have discussion on paint quality? 370z has something akin to kiddie finger paints compared to beautiful paint job on Porsche.
Even on street level of refinement from Porsche is far better than 370z. Technology in PDK, torque vectoring etc is just awesome. Suspension of Porsche is much more compliant than Z too. Heck my 12 year old Boxster had better suspension than current 370z! But still I love retro feel of Z. It's the flaws in the car that make new Z endearing. Perfect cars can be real boring on the street.
