if you had the money, which one would you chose? and why?
i'm still not sure. part of me says the only porsche to buy is the 911, but that cayman is tempting.
also, doesn't the Z4 M coup outperform the Cayman?

 

The Cayman is actually superior to the 911 EXCEPT for the fact that Porsche is holding it back HP wise to make sure it isn't faster. They gotta justify the additional cost of the 911 somehow. The aftermarket will take care of the HP deficit. Porsche put itself in a weird position with the new Cayman.

 

I'd buy an Rx-8. Oh wait, I did.

 

it sure seems that way. really there was no need for the cayman, i mean really if you can dish out 70g's, why not dish out ten more and buy a 911. or they should have made just a boxter coup for a max price of about 60 g's.

 

I love the Cayman, I test drove one in NM and it took all the will power I had not to pick it up (not in the mood to spend $800/month on a car). I hate to say it, but when I got back in my 8, I was kinda bummed.

 

I'd buy a Cayman S--the Z4 M is a stellar performer and It actualy looks better in person (I can't believe I like it) but I'd definately still get the Cayman S.

 

the cayman hands down...Z4 M looks amazing too. Tell ya what make the decision on whether or not you want a convertible. 330 HP in that Z4 is hard to say no too, and in the current form the cayman is faster around the nurbugring than the 911. M'eh get both

 

the M engine is actually tuned to make even more power now, 340hp. but anyways, id go with the cayman too.

 

Cayman has my vote, that car is sexy..

 

right but in the Z4 M its tuned to exactly 330HP according to the published figures.

 

remember i'm talking about the Z4 M coup, which i don't think is out yet. i don't think i'd go convertible in a performance car.

 

You're talking about this? Yes?

The Z4 is just so ugly compared to the Cayman IMO.

 

Cayman S rules

 

Am I the only one who thinks the Z4 M coupe isn't even out yet???

I've never seen one or read a review of one...

 

Cayman ..no contest.....

arguably better than the 911...wicked performance... plus I think the Z4 M looks like ****

 

No it's not out yet, and he's refering to this.

I'd be leaning towards the M coupe, though it's hard to say since it's not out yet. I don't like the looks of the Cayman, and if I were going to spend the money I'd save some money and just get a Boxster S.

 

I'd have to make sure I fit before I made that decision. I didn't really fit in the last Mcoupe.

 

exactly. it looks like the numbers favor the M, but i'm sure it's too close to even be able to tell.

 

I would chose a Porsche over a BMW anyday of the week. Even though I don't really like the look of the Cayman. Yes, it's a great performer......but is that the reason you RX8 owners would want it? That seems to smack in the face of the EVO/STI vs RX8 debate. Looks vs performance. I wouldn't care if the Cayman was waaay faster around Nurenburgring then the 911......the 911 is a waaaay better looking car.

 

the Z4M weights in at 3200pounds, thats quite a lot for a small car. But if you are comparing it against the cayman, I would choose the BMW

3100 lbs.

 

Yes, I would choose the Cayman over the BMW despite the BMW having better numbers. I'd say that fits the RX8 owner trend. I would also choose the Cayman over the 911... simply to save about $10k or more.

 

Why a smack in the face?

Looks are subjective. I like how the Cayman looks compared to the Z4 and the 911. You're the other way around. Although I would venture to say most people in the market for a sportscar do not think the EVO/STI are good looking cars.

The very fact that I would choose the Cayman (a slower car) over the Z4 does fit as an RX8 owner.

 

oh if hes referring to that.....

then its REALLY teh Cayman...lol... god do I hate the look of that M coupe
