They look awesome but air cooled sucks. Plus have you seen the prices of them?
I personally don't agree with this bang for buck stuff. When buying new yes I agree but an older cayman is the same price as you 370 is now probably. Then you could argue do I want something I like or something that is good value for money.
I personally think people who bang on about the badge haven't driven a Porsche or is a hater. There is more porsches then 370 on the road and to most people if you want a good relible sports car you think Porsche.
If you go for a cayman make sure you get a 3.4s as they can be tuned to 350ish bhp.
Hmm, mostly borrocks IMO. "I personally don't agree with this bang for buck stuff", probably never compared the two, from new, to 3 years old, as old as the 370, more bang for buck, try buying a three year old Cayman, never mind a 911 for 16/17k., if you can find one, I'll buy it if it has, which it won't, the same "spec"
"Then you could argue do I want something I like or something that is good value for money", I rest my case on that one, see above.
"I personally think people who bang on about the badge haven't driven a Porsche or is a hater" Badge has a premium, fact, no argument, look at Audi/BMW basic cars, or indeed lower spec Porker's. Hate? Never driven? I'd suggest that you have no idea IMHO, why would you hate a car?? I hate paedo's. and granny bashers/junkies, but why would you "hate" a lump of metal, doeasn't make sense that statement.
Thinking and knowing are two different concepts, if you look at the stats for most reliable cars over the last 10 years, Japanese cars have far out performed Porsche, even down to an Aygo!!
Badge snobbery and perception of what you may see as in "most on the road", surely, would make you want to have a Transit van than anything else. Not understanding a brand icon is exscusable, throwing money at a perception may not be.
Hay ho, why don't we all have a Porsche on here? Is it down to the premium you pay, reliability, performance, no, it's because it's an expensive badge, IMO.
Comparing an aygo to a porsche thats brilliant. Thats like for like and that proves your case.
I don't really get your point though. You wouldnt drive something if its good or not because of the badge? Thats just as much snobbery. Have you driven one the interior and the engineering is much better than the nissan no doubt and thats why it costs more. Yes its got the badge but how do you think the badge got its premium name?
So saying I dont know blah blah which Porsches have you driven or worked on then?
We dont all have porsches on here because 1 its a 350z/370z FORUM. Alot of us may not like them for what ever reasons or maybe cant afford them.
I'd personally consider a 5-6 year old cayman s over a 370z because for me I'd want to drive the best thing I could afford.
