Chris`I Posted July 16, 2011 Posted July 16, 2011 Ive had the same thoughts about getting a Cayman, im just too big for a Boxter... Have you drive a Cayman and/or 370z? To me the drive is very similar between the two and I couldnt justify the price premium of having to get a Cayman S for the same performance, then adding god knows how many extras to spec it up the same as the 370z. I'd love a Turbo'd Cayman (c500HP) but stock for stock, I think the 370z has the Cayman nailed, especially when you add a new exhaust, intakes and remap and still way cheaper than a Porker (If money were no objective, I'm sure I'd have a Porker though) Quote
Ricey Posted July 16, 2011 Author Posted July 16, 2011 Doogy................your dead! To be honest the insurance is probably going to be a killer - I expect it to be more but treble and looking like nearly double on the Zed next year might just snuff it out. Quote
rtbiscuit Posted July 16, 2011 Posted July 16, 2011 i like the boxsters, nice cars, prefer the cayman looks; and this is odd, but 911 looks don't do alot for me, i like them, but it doesn't make me fizz. Quote
DoogyRev Posted July 16, 2011 Posted July 16, 2011 Doogy................your dead! I love you too I have always found that adding a named driver drops my insurance Quote
Ekona Posted July 16, 2011 Posted July 16, 2011 Denim Boxster... for Double Denim Ricey... Quality find That pic is actually a gen2 997 911, not a Boxster Quote
captain Posted July 16, 2011 Posted July 16, 2011 What about a Z4M? Faster, better lookinng and sounding..0-60 in 4.8vs 5.5 in the Porker. 333bhp v. 260bhp What more do you want? Quote
Chap Posted July 16, 2011 Posted July 16, 2011 Doogy................your dead! I love you too I have always found that adding a named driver drops my insurance Works with most of the gomeerkatmoney companies, knocked about a third off a very expensive quote by adding various older family members who would probably be too scared to drive the thing anyway.

DoogyRev Posted July 16, 2011 Posted July 16, 2011 0-60 in 4.8vs 5.5 in the Porker. 333bhp v. 260bhp What more do you want? I find it very amusing the people who are always quoting 0-60 times..... like anyone actually cares, If I was that obsessed I would have bought a Super 7 which would cost a whole lot less than the Zed to run. For me, as long as its comfortable and has a little bit of poke and has an attractive price tag, it fits the bill And yes I do agree with the new Z4M's looking better than the Porker Quote
Stew Posted July 16, 2011 Posted July 16, 2011 I like torque and in gear acceleration figures. You can keep your BHP and 0-60 times! Quote
captain Posted July 16, 2011 Posted July 16, 2011 So sorry for trying to help the OP and for posting some industry facts which every car review always quotes.................... I haven't driven either but would buy a Z4M in an instant if I had off-street parking. Will go back to watching the golf. Quote
DoogyRev Posted July 16, 2011 Posted July 16, 2011 I like torque and in gear acceleration figures. You can keep your BHP and 0-60 times! 0 - 60 times = Willy waving torque and in gear acceleration figures = Standing in the corner playing pocket billiards Quote

Most companies manufacturer Adar and Market it through the 0-60 figure. I know what happens afterwards is fairly important also but on British roads a 0-70 mph figure would be much more appropriate.
