  • BMW Z4 Roadster vs Porsche Cayman S!

    Two very sexy cars, (I think) that will match up well, both from experienced German Car makers who know what there doing!!!

    on the Concept BMW Z4:
    "The Z4 Coupé Concept Car makes the heart of the sports car enthusiast quite literally skip a beat, right from the start whetting your appetite to go out there on the road: extremely driver-oriented in every respect and designed without the slightest compromise for agility and dynamic performance, the Z4 Coupé appeals to all your emotions"-seriouswheels.com

    and on the production Cayman S:
    Cayman S – this is the name of Porsche’s new Sports Coupé based on the Boxster model series. Ranking between the Boxster S and the 911 Carrera, this truly unique mid-engined two-seater sports car is powered by a 3.4-litre 295 bhp horizontally-opposed six-cylinder accelerating the Cayman S to 100 km/h in 5.4 seconds and providing a top speed of 275 km/h or 183 mph.-seriouswheels.com
    I definately can see a compare coming in the future!
    go check it out for yourself!

    what would you choose?
    I'm taking the Porsche because its faster (and its a porsche) and because of its mid-engine design!

    The Porsche hands down is the better one. Much classier and richer interior. And the body just looks like a drop of water where the BMW is boxy. The only thing is that it looks like the same old Porsche except for few small changes. Spec wise, the Porsche wins in HP and torque. Even if it didn't, it's amazing how much it can accomplish with the available HP.

      It's a no brainer since the Porsche is a production version. Anyone can come up with a cool concept ... but not too many have the ballz to produce it.
      this post = teh win.

        Yeah, the Porsche's design just sort of flows in a way I can't resist!
        I love the way the rear sweeps down, creating a gergious dip and topped-off with twin tailpipes.
        This may be one of the best cars ever made from Porsche, because its almost-911 performace numbers, it mid-engine layout and its relitivly cheap price! ($59,000 with many avalible options to raise the $$!)

          actually what you see is going to be a production model next year, BMW has already hinted at this car coming in to production very soo, and as long as the Cayman is out there, the sooner the better for BMW!

            The Porsche is great. I don't much like the Z4 - its a step backword IMO from the nice Z3 (and most excellent M version - perhaps my favorite modern BMW). Funny - a boxterS had a major wipeout today on the autocross circut - ran off the course after failing to correct a nasty fishtale/wobble and ran over a wooden post - tore up his radiator and had to be trucked out. A Mazdaspeed Miata also did a spinneroo and took out the finish line sensors and such - ...no one was hurt. And on Friday I really took it to a Boxster S in my Audi - he wanted it - zipped around me (where I knew a light would change just ahead so I could pull along side)...after thrashing him once (of course once I leveled off/slowed down he had to power by me) - I hung back a bit then just dusted his A good! (my kids really enjoyed the whole thing - cheering us on and deriding my opponent!....hardly had to break a sweat doing it...but I really did power around him good there at the end). Anyway - finished out a day where I dusted both a (recent) M3 and a (late model) corvette....all in my little blue (soccer mom like) wagon! lol I've taken a new Carrera S recently as well (thoguh no one believes he was really trying...but I know that he was - as he cut in front of me quite rudely right before the light...and he powered down - just not as well as I did!)...at least with the AWD he could still run with me in inclement weather - unlike most all other cars (though I've proven to beat STis and EVOs in both the dry and the wet)...so far no ricer types have ever taken me (some close ones certainly) - just the big V8s - top end Corvettes and Mustang Cobras...(again thats in the dry - in wet/snow - I rule! And its great fun...)...also had fun riding shotgon with a bud who recently ran #5 against the pros in the Autocross nationals for his category (he drives hnda CRXs and such) - we rode in someone elses little mini S - awesome thrill ride - did several runs...even let my eldest boy go with him for a few - though after doing it myself I almost forbade him! He loved it and my bud actually did a record run for the day with my kid in shotgun!

              did you say you had a Audi??
              Which one/year?
              must be pretty quick to have beaten those cars, or your a good driver, or both.
              Take on those Ricers!!!

                all of the above

                Its a modded S4 (2001 - bi turbo V6 Avant) - lots of hp - gobs more torque - way fast - believe me - and its a station wagon! - lol (I love that...) - I'm in the process of upgrading - very soon I think - I will be pushing 450hp and nearly 500 lb/ft of torque...yeah - fast...i'll say....

                  nice.
                  Yeah, I'd consider that nice, your almost up to the new Z06's hp numbers!!
                  Well, halfway, actually.
                  But still.....
                  Before, I did'nt quite understand how you could smoke so many cars, with just a standard audi, but now that I now its modded, it all makes sense!
