YouTube - Porsche 911 Turbo vs Nissan GT-R vs Audi R8 V10

YouTube - ZR1 Smokes GT-R: Chevy Corvette ZR1 vs. Nissan GT-R

If your buddy is like mine, you can further rub salt in his wounds by mentioning the financial savings as well.

You are only too old for a car if you can not hunch or bend into it without too much pain.
or even just show him the performance people are getting out of the Cayman S with aftermarket turbos, and how painfully obvious it is that porsche corporate is just trying to protect the image of the 911 by not releasing a cayman with a Turbo, because then everoyne would see that there is no reason to be spending 120k on a porsche 911 turbo. They still get to say they drive a porsche, get the same performance, and save 40k+
