If the Z appeals to you then your NOT too old! You only live once. Get the Z.

dorkidori_s13 · 10-21-2010, 02:44 PM

porsche = for people with money who know NOTHING about cars other than what their friends tell them

Z = for people who actually want a FAST and FUN car without the horrendous european price tag

240sx = for people who want to spend half of what a Z costs, build their car to make 350whp and beat GTRs

Why are people so hung up on the money issue? It almost sounds like pen!s envy, his may be bigger but I know how to work my smaller one better. People who buy Porsches and other high end cars are probably spending less money % wise on their car than we are. And people who drive porsche know cars too, they just dont make them like "too fast too furious" looking like some like to do with their cars.

I can go out and buy a 200 dollar car and make it faster than the Z and paint it and only spend a 1/4 of what the Z cost. To me when you compare cars its about hp and performance, how much the car costs off the lot doesnt matter.

Dude my dad is 54 and he got one. Before that he had two 350's.

i will argue with you on that...every porsche owner ive ever known doesnt know squat about cars...they bought it because they think its fast...unless you drive a 911 turbo...your porsche isnt anywhere NEAR fast...basically what youre telling me is that the 22 year old blonde who has a rich daddy who bought her a porsche knows about cars???

and yes...the price off the lot does matter...for people who are actually into cars and interested in building them...it matters big time...sure you can BUY speed from a dealership...anyone can...but not everyone can actually BUILD speed

also...one point that i forgot to make (which is outside of my above comments)...the cost of ownership of a porsche compared to a Z is a HELL of big difference

wilsonp · 10-21-2010, 07:10 PM

While I'm sure Porsche maintenance costs more, that doesn't bother me ($100 oil change on the Z is more than my NSX) - its the way they charge for every option, and everything is an option (be serious - metallic paint costs more?!?!?). Most people would say the Z's tire cost is ridiculous.

No way I'd buy a new Porsche, but I was looking for a new 370Z.

Also, the Cayman S is faster than the 370Z, and I wouldn't call either car slow.
