370Z or Boxster?
 

Which would you choose?

The muscle, power and value of the 370Z are appealing, but the build quality and neutral handling balance of the Boxster is also very appealing.

I know the battle between Nissan and Porsche is well documented, as is the ownership experience of the Boxster, but I would love to hear from anyone who has owned/driven both.

Comments?

boxster = overpriced and underpowered..Get a cayman if your going porsche....at least.

Otherwise go with the 370.

Oh and dont forget repair cost of the porsche.

Ask member Modshack, he owns both.

don't those fancy porsche tend to leak out oil from the rear main seal and intermediate main shaft seals and blow up the engine? or did porsche fix that?

haha always :stirthepot:

They fixed that, years ago.

I've owned both.
370z. The end.

depends on if cost is an issue. i wouldn't go with a boxster however, i'd probably go with a cayman.

for best bang for your buck, 370z. overall performance without cost in play, cayman (although its a pretty close battle).

I totally agree.

Between 370Z and Boxster, Z wins.

Between Z and Cayman, performance-wise, both are the same. Quality-wise, Z wins. Overall handling, Cayman wins. Look-wise, Cayman wins (subjective). Cost-wise, Z wins (Cayman is $20K more than Z).

For me if i can afford, I'd buy the Cayman. In my opinion, it looks nicer than Z. Otherwise, Z it is.

Ehhh...I'm not gonna get into these keyboard shoot-outs. Sold mine awhile back. The Boxster is a great car, the 370 is too..Money no object I'd probably choose a Boxster over the Z. Cayman is just a Boxster hardtop...either would suffice. The only thing I really don't like about the Z is the Tractor motor. Other than that (and the $$) it's a close call as driver's cars go....

tractor motor? hahaha. :D

naw, a true tractor engine is the johnny popper.

If I could afford it, I'd get the Boxster Spyder any day.

All things equal, the Porsche is better. But considering they cost $20k more, the Z wins by a mile.

You think the Z is better quality than the Porsche?????:confused:

If I recall correctly, the new Boxster posts some pretty sweet performance numbers.
