Porsche

Especially the pickups with the Triton 5.4, which comes factory with self ejecting spark plugs. Of course some brilliant engineer redesigned them in the mid 2000's and the self ejecting plugs became non removable plugs, as in you'll break them trying to get them out.

Way to go Ford.

Ford must be doing something right. They're the only ones afloat without a bailout.

Apples to oranges. Comparing the S version of the Boxster would be fair if you put it up against the M version of the Z4. Also, the '10 Z4 has a 335 hp twin turbo, good luck running with that

That would be more like comparing the BMW turbo to the 320 HP Boxster Spyder. I have driven the Z4 Turbo and I really like it, it is very quick off the line, but in the tight turns it doesn't handle as well as the Porsche.

Well, they sold Jaguar, so I'd say that was a step in the right direction.

I just like the more refined feel, sound and interior comfort of the BMW. IMHO, Porches sound and feel like they're working twice as hard as they actually are. Besides, a set of springs,shocks, wheels and tires will even up any handling differences.

They are two different breeds of car that attract two different types of people. I prefer the feel of the Porsche but by no means would I turn down a Z4 if the right price was put in front of me. I would definitely take either over a 370z any day.

I have owned this since Oct 2007 had collector plates put on it that same year It is very fun to drive. I store it in the winter.

Neat. I have a friend who owns a 968. There's a club or online resource for that whole front engined porsche family 924/928/etc. etc.
