On the PR campaign, we had 500+ people this weeekend at the track for a track day as well as a Concorso sponsored by Ruf Porsche, I had the only 370z at the track which I parked in front of the paddack to ensure that questions would be asked and made myself available when I was not instructing on the track. I can not tell you the number of people that asked how I liked the car and I think you all know what the answer was.

It was very ironic that Nissan or the reviewers have picked to compare the 370 against the caymans the biggiest difference 370z sat on the paddack while a countless number of cayman's hit the track. (without any problems)

So I quess you really get what you pay for, $60,000 + a real manufacture that supports there product.

$32,000 + a nissan that can not even enter the the game

$80,000 + (GTR) a nissan that is capable but its daddy wont let it out to play.

I think I'd personally go for the $32K 370Z and another $400 for an oil cooler then buy a second 370Z as a garage queen or for spare parts for the same price as the Cayman....

hahahhahahahaaaaa

excellent point! it's actually sad that this is true... for the price of one cayman s, you can buy two 370s; void the warranty on one by installing an oil cooler which, as i understand it, will eliminate the limp mode issue and allow you to track the hell out of it, and then buy a second for daily driving where, as i understand it, the limp mode issue isn't an issue at all.

so there you have it: one cayman s, or two 370s with essentially the same result (in the sense that you can track your car if you wish).

this is, however, only a valid argument insofar as the 370z v. cayman point of view is concerned, but a valid (and quite funny) point nonetheless!

+rep to fricfrac for being the first to mention the "2 for 1"
