Z4M vs. Cayman S

FleeceLINER · June 25th, 2009, 8:54 AM

Comparo please?

Zuhaib · June 25th, 2009, 9:13 AM

They are both cars...

I see we have a comedian in our midst images/smilies/wink.gif

And his promoter too images/smilies/dry.gif

Aha. ha. ha. ha. ha.

MattFarah · June 30th, 2009, 4:37 AM

Z4M is out of production, therefore, no more press cars images/smilies/sad.gif

If you know someone in California with one, have them hit me up and we will rock it.

Or New Z4 vs. Caymen S vs. Lotus Evora?

Der Stig · July 4th, 2009, 6:05 PM

^ Yes! I would at least like to see an Evora vs. Cayman S piece! Seems like a great match-up- the new Z4 is too urbane and doesn't fit with the sportier cars.

deuses · July 24th, 2009, 9:20 AM

You can use my Z4M Coupe, but I'm in DC...

I know some people in CA with Z4Ms, are you looking to do a coupe? I think a 3way with the old Z4M, new Z43.5, and Cayman S would be hot. Edmunds did a comparison on the Z4M Coupe vs Cayman S and sided with the Cayman because it did better on the track. I'd side with Z4M because it's more fun to drive (which is why I bought it).

Also, it would be a good comparison as used cars. New, the Cayman S was $15k more than the Z4M but now used, they are the same price.

Evora doesn't come out in the states until next year so that would be hard.

I'm gonna just steal this thread to make a suggestion of my own, and a rather interesting one.

As the S2000 is being phased out... what is the best roadster for 40 grand?

The new japanese competition (S2000) or the old british guard (Elise R)?

LeVeL · July 24th, 2009, 2:24 PM

S2000 is well under 40k and the Elise is well over, iirc

klankymen · July 24th, 2009, 7:09 PM

S2000 starting at €39590, Elise R for €39590.

Der Stig · July 24th, 2009, 9:15 PM

In the US:

S2k's are about ~$35k fully loaded an Elises are ~$35k starting price.

deuses · July 25th, 2009, 8:35 AM

No comparison for that, S2k is a better daily driver, Elise is a better track car, the end.

Lets get back to BMW vs Porsche images/smilies/smile.gif
