A) You have non or little experience from race seats, or
B) Your a BIG guy
Wich is it? I'm 198 cm and 115 kg. So I could say I'm a rater big guy....still the seats in the Z06 are very comfortable to me....that was one of the reasons why I choose a Z06 over a Porsche....
And also you think a Cayman will turn heads in 5 years? Well, in Sweden were I live it turns no heads even when it's new....here Porsche's are to common and normal....the Z06 is the unique head turning car over here....but I guess it's the other way around were you live!
Enjoy your Porsche, it's a great car.....I will for sure enjoy my Z06...

Why do you continue to parade through this forum? You have a Z06. Congrats. Now head back over to CorvetteForum. Are you really that concerned about what P car owners think of your car? ....or just insecure. FWIW, I wouldn't dare go over to CF and post the crap you post here. Now, carry on....

You have about 20 posts on this forum and EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM relates to the "greatness" of the Z06. This, my friend, is the definition of a TROLL. I remember when I had my C6 how nasty you guys at CF treated "Udaman" and "Johnny Porsh'a" and called them out for EXACTLY what you are doing over here.
No, you don't have to own a P car to engage in discussion about them but it appears all that you want to do is comment on how much better you think your Z06 is to the P car. Perhaps over time you will prove me wrong.
Oh, and please show me where you said my car is great. All I got out of you was...."its called a Coxster by Clarkson".....and...."over in Sweden, a CaymanS is not turing heads now so how is it going to 5 years from now"...Don't see any comments about great there.

both great cars....but no basis for a fair comparison! NOT APPLES TO APPLES! Now y cant we just stop beating on our fingers here..... but instead go beat on our cars and enjoy them like they were supposed to be enjoyed and not just be talked about!! :=)
Personally I test drove both the Z06 and new tt. Loved them both but difference caliber, power delivery, handling, pimp factor, etc etc...

The car has the feeling of airline turbulence while turning at high speed and rolling over a bump. And don't get me going on the interior. Can you say shake, rattle, and roll? My car only had 5600 miles on it. My point is this...the car is poorly engineered. My proof....in 5 years compare the resale value on a 70K 2006 ZO6 to a 70K CaymanS. One will be a parts depot for the avid racer and the other will still be turning heads.

Here we go again.........(goes to grab popcorn and some Chex Mix)
FWIW, I think both cars have pretty awesome road presence and it is a drivers race anyway you cut it. Just buy what you like and move on.
