2011 370Z to 2007 Porsche 911?

gufazi · 08-20-2014, 07:26 AM

Age of drivers - that is what I was guessing, too.

BTW, it would be much more expensive to upgrade the wife!

Hmm, I dont think this 911 is enough to dethrone my dream of owning a Viper. I'm going to leave it on the back burner for now, and keep on enjoying the Z. If a Carerra S comes along then that would be worth considering!

Funny you mention those two cars... BOTH our current project cars will eventually be for sale.. Probably sooner than later. Just sayiin

Funny when I had my Z for sale I was looking at the 06/07 Porsche Carerra 4s

I figured all wheel drive, resonable looks, and "somewhat" of a back seat. Some beautiful ones out there and the price point is good right now. Ended up with something else though

gotta pay to play. If you don't mind stumping the extra dough for Porsche maintenance, go for it. It's much more refined, and has a bit more cachet.

But you can have more or less the same amount of fun in a Z on public roads and at a track, for less skrilla.

No wrong choice here, I feel.

Also do not dismiss the cost to maintain and repair German cars, it's ridiculous. (And "yes", I speak from personal experience). The cost to insure and maintain a Porsche is substantially more than a Z.

Either way, good luck with your decision

Yeah I can say that when I bought my beater (2001 BMW 530i) just to replace small stuff and basic maintenence it cost me 2.5k. German cars are ridiculous to repair

i got quoted a cheaper insurance premium for an 05 viper than m 05 lotus. didnt make sense to me.

then again i paid a higher insurance for a ford truck than i do my z lol.
