For someone who already has a daily driver (ie. practical, auto-transmission, four-door car with enough space for most normal purposes) and is looking for an extra car (and hopefully some spare cash left) to use purely for selfish driving enjoyment, which of the above three cars should one seriously consider?
Cayman S (M) or 350Z (M) or 335Ci (A)?

If you have enough of speed, then i would go with the CaymanS or the Z4m COUPE. Brute Power, 335i for sure. But handling and profile of the CaymanS is unbeatable esp with PASM. Fantastic!

Re: Cayman S (M) or 350Z (M) or 335Ci (A)?
3 more cars to consider! Cayman 2.7 Manual, Honda S2000 AP2 and Mazda Miata manual with factory LSD with the cloth roof one.
Cayman 2.7 lives on revs (less than the S2000) and is relatively cheaper than the 3.4. It is 50kg lighter and has slightly better braking distance, but for just the fun of it driving up the mountains in Malaysia (you really can't go that fast) the 2.7 is excellent choice (I'm not praising my own judgment here)
S2000 AP2 - I don't know much about driving the AP2 but if the AP1 is anything to go by, the Cayman beats it considerably on stock settings. But this is a car for revs and it looks better than the Cayman from an objective perspective, but not from a branding angle.
Miata - ANY one. I've recently read Dave Coleman's latest column and I agree. 2nd hand is better. For this car, it will be YOUR project car. I don't know how good a driver you are, but the poorer a driver you are the better the Miata as a choice. Buy one and STRIP OUT EVERY DAMN THING. Leave nothing. Strip out the soundproofing tar and tear out the carpets and tear out the cloth roof everything. Change your tyres to great ones, keep the rims at 15" and change the engine oil. Put in a bar to protect your head, add in front and rear anti roll bars and you're good to go drive in Sepang or Pasir Gudang, not fearing for the car at all. The car is cheap, and repair is cheap. Get a good helmet, of course.
eg. this ONE for God's sake! Mazda MX5 1.6M (COE till 08/2011) Details - sgCarMart Actually i am looking for one too... coz I am a lousy driver.

Re: Cayman S (M) or 350Z (M) or 335Ci (A)?
I've ridden and driven a 350Z quite innumerable times, but never connected.
350Z is like marrying a nice girl next door who try to work as a hooker part time. She TRY to be happening and wild but once married, you still see she a little conservative and though she's quite strong she refuse to do some of those kama sutra super kinky positions. She does everything very well, but not like some people born and bred to be sexy things. She's the girl which John Travolta asked in Saturday Night Fever - you a nice girl or a pig?
While the GT3 is like marrying a hooker, the Cayman S is more like marrying a stripper, and the Cayman is all about the stripper's little sister. I ... uhhh... prefer the little sister, thank you.
The MX5 is a tramp. The nice thing about it being a car and not a human is that you can't get HIV off the MX5. That makes it greatly fun! She's the girl that all your friends have slept with and is so fun and nice and giving.
The S2000 is a nympho, much more demanding than a hooker, stripper or tramp, but a nympho while thriving on high velocity piak piak piak is not so well versed in the art of satisfaction of the other party, and if you stray from the high velocity piak piak piak she may just throw you off.

Do bear in mind that a Cayman S with rather basic stuff like full leather is going to set you back around 330K......but it's a fantastic car. I tried also the non-S Cayman, hope I won't offend anyone
but it's just too torqueless for me.....350Z is too plasticky.

Sex is the easiest form of symphony to descibe cars and their feelings. Now i would like ot know how CaySman describes the 335i? My 335i, to me, is like Carmen Electra. Electrifying...

Anyway, back to topic. The 335i ... is to me, a rich man's daughter brought up the nice way, then she got a friend teach her all about turbocharged sex, and then she also suddenly start to smoke cigarettes and drink hard liquor. She pukes most of the liquor out, and in bed she still don't wanna do all kinds of weird positions, and she is quite set in her ways and don't like you to command her to go here go there .... very much a nicely brought up rich girl. She may smoke or drink and go wild sometimes, but at the ver core, still a nice girl.
This Michael Tan thing going to stick around forever? LOL ... actually sometimes caysman is MT, sometimes he is MK, and sometimes he is BM. I'm sure MT will post under his own account were he not banned ...kenntona;254313 said:
