This actually isn't true. The Cayman S has the edge on the Z in power and handling. Hell, look at all of the reported track times out there and the S is quite a bit quicker than the Z.

That said, if I already had a Z I wouldn't trade it in on a Cayman. The cars are too similar and the Cayman is just too expensive to really justify the trade.

I looked at the two cars when I was in the market for a sports car and yes, the Cayman is the better car all around. Better handling, better feel, better engine, better quality. The Z looked better, though, and was MUCH MUCH MUCH cheaper while still delivering a similar driving experience, so I went with that. I just coulnd't justify dropping 60+k on a new Cayman S when I could get a Z (which looked better to me) for under $40k brand new.

Not to mention the Z is much cheaper to maintain. It just isn't as refined as the P-car is, but obviously I was willing to deal with that for several thousand dollars less.
