So, for 35k I can get either a new Saturn Sky Turbo, a new 370Z, or a used Cayman S with around 40k miles.

Has anyone owned a 370Z or Sky and can compare it to the Cayman?
Mallet in mid-west drop in 6.0l V8 motor. Hubba hubba. Spotted a Solitice with this engine swap and workmanship was beautiful. Looked factory. Owner said quality of work excellent.

Price? Around $30K. But what a car with a 6.0l V8 engine.

course, owner said one can buy the Soltice and maybe Sky with a power bump option (sort of like an X50 option for Porsches) for $600 which raises stock engine's output quite a bit. Won't shove out 400+ hp like 6.0 V8 but close... around 360hp if I heard this guy right.

Sincerely,

Macster.
