This is a very interesting (very long) read, Just wanted to share it. I saw it on the Cayman forum,

2006 Sport Coupe Shootout: BMW M Coupe vs. Porsche Cayman S

 

Cayman S>Z4M

And I'm a BMW fan boy

 

neither, not enough horsepower

 

There are better cars for the money.

 

define better and which do you have in mind?

 

00 STOCK civic hatchback ...lol j/k j/k

 

i'm slightly partial to an Audi S4, it's 10K less than a Cayman S.

or if you wanted to embelish a little bit and spend 8K more than a Cayman S you could get the RS4 and than really be in business.

as far as "better" thats all usually boils down to a personal preference but the Audi is cheaper, has more power, has rear seats so it's a little more practical and it still has some luxury and refinement. Although all that luxury and practically does come a price of over 1000 more lbs.

 

I don't know where you got your prices from Gabe, but once you start adding options to the Cayman, they get expensive. You can easily get into the $70k+ range, IIRC

 

ya, i was just using base line figures that i got from "Sports & Luxury Automobile" magazines 2007 buyers guide.
