I disagree completely. The cayman chassis is far superior to the 911. Mid engine vs engine in the butt.
I'd take a Cayman S over a base 911 any day.
That lowest tier thing seems like a pretty BS pretentious excuse. The car doesn't scream that, the driver does.

PS. The F430 is the "lowest tier" Ferrari...

did he just said 0-60 in just 5.3 second??? Isn't it 4.7 .

Annoying to$$er, but he definitely got one thing right - It's ZED, not Zeeeeee.





:)

Amen. Although I'm notorious for switching it up. Was just at the eye doctor and I kept confusing him.

Wouldn't that be the boxster?

I know that, again I was being facetious. Here in the United States of America we tend to do things a bit different. ;)

That's what I thought too, but then I thought maybe you don't have them in America, so I kept quiet!

You obviously have NO CLUE what you are talking about. Total D-bag statement. I have a Z, Porsche, and other cars. I know my ****, you clearly do not. :gtfo2:

What's embarrassing about driving such a quality car like that?

You're going to find far more annoying ricer type dweebs in the 350/370Zs because a lot more young drivers will be in them since it's a lot less money. I've been bumped up by more Zs and sporty cars in that price range than by cars in the Cayman's range.

I too have been lusting for a Cayman S, until the 370Z arrived. I have yet to make my purchase. I've test driven '07 and '08 Caymans, both base and S models. Always with MT. I've driven their Tiptronic AT in a Boxster S and hated it. Nissan has done an excellent job with the 370Z and there is no better standard to strive for than a Porsche Cayman. A base Cayman costs over $50K, a full $20K over a base 370Z. In addition, the 370Z gives you more power, 332hp vs. 265hp in a base Cayman, more torque 270 vs 221, bigger wheels 18" vs. 17"($1235 for 18"), it's faster 5.3 sec 0-60 vs. 5.5, and HID lights ($1560 option on Cayman). The Cayman S starts at $60K, for that price you can buy a his and hers 370Z! The Cayman S, for all it's greatness is no where near twice better. Though, I do love it's engine sound!!

Because most (not all) Porsche owners are total tools. The standard Porsche driver is a douchebag. I'm sorry, but it's true. They are often 50 year-old balding dudes who have spent their lifetimes ******* other people over and can't drive worth a crap.

I don't like Porsche's pricing strategy (ridiculously overpriced, especially for options); I don't like their poseur image, I don't really like their fanboys, who seem to think Porsches are god's gift to the automotive world, and I don't like the fact that they have deliberately kept the best car they are producing (the Cayman) down, just so it doesn't infringe on their precious (and outdated) 911. I feel like owning a Porsche is usually (but not always) about just owning an expensive car, without having the means to go whole hog and get a ferrari or something truly beautiful (AM Vantage).

Before people get their panties in a knot - yes, I've been to Porsche club track days and I've been very impressed with the cars and the drivers. Still, it is just a badge that I have never wanted on any car I own. A Carrera S was loping along in traffic next to me yesterday, and it sounded like a VW beetle around idle. For a 90K+ car, that's inexcusable to me. Those cars may sing as the revs rise, but they'll never sound like the aforementioned AM V8, a proper V12, or even the sbc in the Z06. Everyone has their version of automotive heaven, and Porsche has no place in mine...

...now a Caterham CSR - there's a true driver's car, without all the baggage. :driving:
