I even like the way the z looks over the cayman and there's no question that our z is waaaaaaaay more comfy for bigger guys! I'm 6ft 1 and 225 and found myself only driving the cayman once a week because it just wasn't comfortable

I'd agree with 2006 cayman S but not 2010. I test drove a 2006 cayman S just before I bought my 370z. Didn't like lack of power . The upgraded motor in 2010 cayman S is far more reliable and is more powerful. That extra top end in newer Cayman S is just wicked. I'm 6' 4" tall and 275 and don't find 2010 cayman cabin uncomfortable? I drive car on 80 mile commute most days now. I actually fit in Cayman with my helmet on too! I had to customize seat in my 370z so I would fit and still had to duck my head with helmet on . Cayman no ducking and forward view is awesome in cayman compared to 370 Z. That limited view out of 370 Z was a cool feeling but bugged me too. And it's funny about repairs. I find Z to be very expensive for occasional track use compared to cayman . Caymans brakes are just awesome compared to Z. I have good porsche connections so repair costs for me are actually less than Z. Plus I have 2 year 50000 warranty with porsche certified car. Z is a rocking deal but with porsche certified 987.2 cars going in mid $40k range it's hard to pass up that type of performance bargin!
