If you've got the kind of bankroll to really afford abusing and tracking a Porsche, then yeah go for it. But if you can just barely afford to buy a nice Porsche but then you have to baby it and worry about it and never really push it.... yeah, you're gonna find yourself wishing you had a cheaper Z that you could afford to tear up the pavement with.
He loves his car but I think this is real close to what he was thinking. He's bought 3 Porsche in 3 years so he could afford it but he can't seem to come to terms with how much he has to spend to get some track time with a car he has so much in already.

I think the big shock for him was that he didn't get as much extra performance as he thought for the extra $90K.
