Nice! Owned the Nissan and now the same Cayman S. Both excellent cars. Porsche one step ahead in quality, precision and engine.

Ignoring the fact that some Cayman engine's are made of Chocolate, the Cayman overall is the better drivers car.
The 350Z is a good reliable quick car but its 1500+kg and is more of a Sports GT car, than an out & out sports car.
The Cayman S is faster in acceleration everywhere over the rev range than the 350Z to.
If it was a 350 HR then the acceleration would be more on par with the Cayman S but the weight difference is still there and the Cayman has far superior brakes and chassis than the 350Z.
The Nurburgring lap times show the difference, the 350HR managed an 8.26 but the 987 Cayman managed 8.06.
