Porsche or?
I'm enjoying your concise, sensible videos and road tests. Given a choice of Nissan 370Z or Porsche Cayman, which would you buy?

I'd have the 370Z. I accept the Cayman is a purists dream car, but I'm not prepared to put up with the organ grinding discomfort just to have a car I can take on track days. The 370Z is true Jekyll and Hyde. It’s comfortable even on 19” wheels and burbles along at slower speeds quite happily. Yet give it some beans and it’s huge fun.
