No worries man, Its good to talk about stuff. That way you can see other peoples point of view. I have been wrong many times before and I've learned everything I know.
On paper, yes they are very similarly matched. On the street, it could go either way.
I'll state it one more time. I love the 350z and I love the 370z even more. I don't really discount it all that much. Today I went to my friend's dealer, its an exotic car dealer. Theres 2 carrera GT's and 2 Murcielagos and a GT3RS and an SLR and so on in the showroom. F430s like they are civics. The owner used to drive an 04 STI on the track. Now that he sold that, he is looking at another big performance low budget car and he wants the Cayman S. I told him no, I told him to wait for the Z to come out before he makes his decision.
I don't discount the Z. I think with slight mods it can be on par with the Cayman S. Fact of the matter is man that the stock Z has more weight, manual tranny and crappy brake pads. Brakes, tires and some suspension mods and I'm sure you'd be on par with the Cayman around a track. If you were talking about the 07 Cayman then Yes the Z has it beat.
I could be wrong though, if I am, I will be so happily surprised.
If you are wrong, you are going to be sadly dissapointed.
I've seen enough cars and car parts get hyped to hell and then not deliver.
I'm going to stand by my opinion that stock for stock the 2009 Cayman would be the winner around the track. If you consider price, then OBVIOUSLY the Z wins this hands down, and I mean like no contest. Again, I love the new Z, I'm buying one. I'm as excited as the rest of you. I am not expecting miracles though. I expect an exciting, extremely solid sports coupe that is hands down the winner in its price range. A Porsche beater? Perhaps.
