One thing for sure though, it would have to be a cayman s.

Piggy Backing off this, Porsche is not like BMW. Their cars are built to last and can take a beating, more so than the Z even.
There won't be as many cheap mods for the Cayman, but the Cayman will require less performance mods (at least in terms of handling).
I put a fair amount of money into my 370z' suspension and while it was killer it still didn't give me the same feeling of control and preciseness that the Cayman did when I drove it. That sort of feeling is impossible to get in the Z even after heavily modding it.
I think the Z looks more aggressive than the old Cayman and is a bit quicker, but I would probably go by a one owner, used Cayman S with not too many miles for $30k if I were you.
When I sold my Z I almost bought a Cayman S but decided I'd rather have a power boost and bought a Z06. Couldn't be happier but still, the Cayman is a fantastic handling car. It's so fun to drive!. Definitely test drive both. I'll always miss my Z for many reasons but I think you'll have more fun in a little Cayman S.
$30k will get you a nice example if you shop smart.
