What's your next car?

Probably a white Cayman S and a Daily beater like a honda or something.

That is why I feel free in my Zzzzz!
How did you like your 996 Turbo compared to the Nissan ? . .

I'm wondering how they compare to eachother, cuz I'd think the newer car is usually the better choice

That's nice to have two different cars for your personal choice. The 370z was designed w/ the Cayman as its benchmark. Would a Cayman be an upgrade from the Z or not ? . . .

88 is a lot and that's not the only difference between the 996 and the 370Z. The Porsche is on a completely different level.

Yeah, there's definitely more of a difference than just the horsepower. . .the 996 Turbo would have been the pinnacle of Porsche's road and racing engineering for the 911 in the early 2000's.

Probably a Porche. But we'll see what Nissan has to offer in 3 years.

Saving for the next gen BMW M3/4 (whatever they decide to call the coupe). I'm on my second Z and I've loved both cars, but all of the rumors point toward Nissan going soft for the next generation and making the Z more entry level. Hope the rumor mill is wrong, but it wouldn't shock me. If anything, I'd want the next Nismo to break 400hp stock and lose some weight.
