Base Porsche Boxster vs 370Z

If I hit lotto tomorrow. The first two cars going immediately in the stable will be a Nissan GT-R and a Porsche 911 turbo. Then I'd order a Ferrari 458 Italia.

The porsche cayman is a weird car to me. I love it... From Style, ergonimocs, seat positioning and feel. I just think that Porsche should have found a way to keep repair costs down, and to keep the cost from rising above $60k.

The z may be crude and coarse compared to a Cayman but it's fun, cheap and can perform on the same level. If I were to spend the more realistic cost of $70+k for a porsche cayman S. I would look at other cars instead. the Corvette Z06 BMW M3 or even an entry 911, which offer what i consider a next level performance experience.
No doubt the cayman is refined and better balanced sports machine by comparison to a Z. Just not worth double the Z price.
