Nice video. Thanks.

"Manga comic looks?" I think I should take insult to that as a 'manga comic' lover. Same could be said about your facial hair mate.

I was surprised they didn't borrow the pink convertable Micra. That thing is a sin against nature. But the Hamster did look good in it :D

Pretty nice, I like the comparison at the end. 1x Cayman S = 1x 370Z + 3x Pixo :)

I can't wait for the Cayman S vs NISMO 370Z comparos. That should be quite a contest.

Unless they compare noses :ugh2:

I actually was seriously pondering a used Cayman S instead of the Z, but I really didn't dig the interior. It just didn't fit me nearly as well as the Z, and the quality of the dials, etc., didn't fit my expectations for a $60K+ car.

Also, being a porsche owner just seems like it would be embarrassing somehow. Getting out of a Porsche just seems to say "I'm an annoying dweeb".

It just seems weird that the regular 370Z is being compared to the Cayman S instead of the regular Cayman in most of these. I'm guessing there is going to be very little difference between the NISMO ans the S when they go head to head (well, except the price :D)

Does coo pay translate into coupe? LOL :rofl2:

Think about it for the price difference you save between the two you could put an extra 10k into the Z and destroy the Cayman S.

Nice video. I actually obsessed over the Cayman S for about a year before it was time to make a purchase this February. The 370z won me over, and I chose it over a 2 year old Cayman S.

As much as I love Porsche's, I agree with what the video said... the 370z just looks mean compared to the Cayman S. Now... the GT3 or Turbo on the other hand.... but thats apples and oranges.

It's "coupé" (coo-pay), it's never been supposed to be pronounced coupe. Coupé is a french noun meaning "cut", like we cut two of the four doors and now it's a coupé. ;)

I definitely thought about the Caymen before I bought the Z but in the end it just screams ”I bought a caymen because I couldn't commit for a 911". Personally I don't like driving the lowest tier model a manufacturer has to offer.

I like the fact that the 370z is bench marked to the Porsche cayman s; however, a porsche is still a porsche. Essentially you're paying for the name and performance behind the badge. I remember I was cruising through some Porsche forums when a magazine did the comparison between the two, and people had nothing but "fan boy" remarks to say about the Porsche.

I think as a car enthusiast you should be able to appreciate cars such as the the cayman S and the 370z on different levels.

Like so many other things we, Americans, say "coupe" and the rest of the world says "coupé."

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.

:icon14:

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:
