Looks Only: 370z or Cayman S

Come to think of it I think either way, you'll get la!d with either car. MODS - sorry if I violated.

I think the latest Cayman's restyling made it look better, the old style not so good. I am quite smitten for the Z though...

Yeah, you are definitely paying for the name. Also, I really do wonder for the price difference which car would do better on the track dollar for dollar.

If I took a brand new Cayman S ~68K?? and I bought a new 42K 370Z then did 25K worth of mods to it. Which wins?

You don't win because your 25k will go right down the drain, at least the cayman is worth more

Boxsters are a little metro sexual but I don't think Caymans are. At certain angles I really like the Cayman and other angles I just don't like at all. There are a few bad angles on the Z as well but overall I think the Z looks better.
Now if we are talking modified Caymans vs. modified Z's that makes it a lot closer as they both look great with a drop an some nice wheels.

If you post this question on a 370z forum, of course you'll get a biased answers.

I went with 370z instead of used porsche, z4, etc. because after 50k miles (or less) german engineering tends to start having massive problems. And imagine your repair expense for a Porsche. Unlike the 370z, I personally had 0 problems with it yet (knock on wood). Long term cost for a Porsche will drain your wallet

wow that does look really good. As someone said, compare to the older cayman, Z hands down. but the new Cayman, hmmm makes you want to think twice. But again, there's about 25K price gap. So if finance is an issue, Z is picked pretty quickly.
