It goes without saying.
 

I was bored here at work and Googled 370Z vs. XXXX, and Road and Track compared it to a Porsche Caymann. I guess it's implied that a Z-car is a "poor man's Caymann." Fine with me. The Z car, but more specificallythe Z-32 twin turbo, was my dream car back in high school (but couldn't afford its nearly $40K price). I hit a "Caymann club" link analagous to this website, and read most of the comments by its members. Boy, am I impressed. The majority of the people demonstrate netiquette Cayman S vs. 370Z - Planet Porsche and don't turn their nose up at a car that's about 1/2 the price of a Caymann. It goes without saying, that when you attain a higher status in life, it polishes your essence while manifesting culture.

By the way, I live in an affluent suburb (Palos Verdes peninsula) where $100,000+ cars driving around aren't rare i.e. Porsches, Ferraris, Lambos, etc., and I can't believe that people who drive current model 911's do double-takes on my 370. Whether they think it's hot/ugly doesn't influence me. But I notice the people who start crap are the spoiled high school kids who drive Lexus IS-F's, EVO's, STI's and sadly, GT-R's (us Nissan drivers shouldn't rev on each other, it's childish :confused:).

Planet Porsche (recent forum name change as it was just a Cayman forum) is a great forum. The owner of the forum is like AK, well-intentioned, and liked by every member. You will find that a "true" enthusiast does not care about brands, etc. They are more excited, and interested about machines that have wings, wheels, engines or not. :tup:

Agreed completely.

It's refreshing to read threads such as the one on the Porsche forum. Too often do threads on forums turn into my car vs _____ pissing contests.

I was at a light in McLean a couple weeks ago with a Vanquish and an orangeish Murcielago. I was checking them out and they were checking me out. Pretty cool.

Whats funny is I was in that area this past week and one day I saw an aston martin and the next a lambo. Weird... Mind you I dont have a 370 (yet) but I do have an STi...:hello:

I admire how the Porsche people admit the 370 is car you can't take lightly. Most of them acknowledge the fact that a "Nissan" can, especially a GTR, can compete with the best Porsche can offer.

Several years back, I had a coworker whose family was pretty loaded, and uhh...he drove a Ferrari 360 Modena when they first came out. He used to laugh at people who drove those "noisy but slow Mitsubishi's" in his words. Then one day I heard he raced a R-32 Skyline, and the "noisy but slow 'Mitsubishi' " spanked his $200k+ car. He sheepishly claimed that he didn't want to "wrap his Ferrari around a tree." LMFAO!

I test drove Cayman S before I bought my 370Z. It's a decent car, Nissan will not be matching Porshe's finese any time soon. I thought it should be offering a lot more for the money. After Nissan ran my credit, they pitched me the GTR. I still chose Z.
