If Cayman S = ZL1
Hi guys,
If you were offered Porsche Cayman S 2014 for the same ZL1 price, which one would you go for? Note: The Cayman is 3.4 PDK with Chrono sport package

Easy choice, Cayman S. That car is $70,000 with PDK and Sport Chrono Package.

Easy choice in my opinion. The ZL1 is a hell of a car and you get a lot for your money, but the Cayman S is simply more. If the money was the same, the Cayman is the clear choice. |

Depends on how many seats you need.
If you only want 2, then I'd be looking at a Vette.

Very subjective. I personally can't stand the way Porsches look. I've always felt that way, because they still look the same. Don't get me wrong I would love to drive a 911 Turbo but for that money I'd look at something else.
Its a great deal but then after awhile you'd want a 911. Caymans have never even registered on my car radar. Just do what makes you happy. If looking at it doesn't make you smile don't buy it. |

The reason why Im asking is because our dear dealer here sells the Camaro SS for around 51K when the Cayman S base starts at 59K.
I was shouting in the GM Regional Representative face last week against these crazy prices. They are shooting their own feet and killing their market. A friend of mine who owns a Camaro SS and was dying to have a ZL1, couldnt get it because it was reserved minutes before he made it to the show room. The guy exploded there, sold his SS immediately and bought a Porsche Cayyane as he couldnt bear facing the Chevy dealer again. I hope that GM listens to us.

ZL1, it's so much nicer, sounds so much better, and I would only get a muscle car but that's just me. I'd get a super car though like a lambo or ferrari... Stuff like that

Do you want power or finesse? Once you make that decision, picking the car is easy.

Not a fan of Porsche so I'd keep my ZL1. Also I wouldn't say that German > USA. Both countries make great cars
