It's performance is well beyond what can sensibly be used on most public streets, and I've seen very few @ DE's.

BTW, maint. came up, and I have to dispel the Myth of Porsche maint. It took one $200-$230 oil change per year, and that's it. Tire wear was great since the car is so well balanced. I'm convinced that maint., tire/brake wear, etc. will be more on the Z06.

Yeah that's all cool and stuff as long as you understand that you're car is not king. LOL

Besides, they liked the R8 chassis better than the Porsche, granted it's the same company.

They used a ZR1 in that test, not the Z06.

We have a porsche dealer.. I don't see how service would be bad.

We have one too. And I can see how service is bad.
Maybe out east it is different, but the Porsche dealer here is terrible.

I would rather drive the 2 hours to Montreal for service if I had one. My brother takes his to a hole in the wall place for service.

Z06 hands down for me BUT the Cayman S is a hot little car. It handles great...is pretty quick and of course yes it's a Porsche.

The Z06 is a badazz...the interior isn't as nice but not that big of a deal and has more space inside.

I like both but if I must pick one...Z06.

9 qts of oil = 20k oil change intervals (or one year, which most people hit first).
