After a few quick laps at Fontana last weekend... Did I like it? Yes I did. Did I place an order? No sir.

The Boxster Spyder is a special edition and really only suited for a select few of us who appreciate a pure German roadster and just have too much money. It is simply not practical to take to work, leave it parked at the beach for a day or short weekend trips. Ferry Porsche would probably appreciate your sentiments though. It was those same feelings that caused him to build the 356 in the first place.

My impressions? I like the look although it's a bit overstated with the humps. The power/PDK is marvelously balanced with lots of low end torque compared to my car. It is very quick out of the corners. The brakes are excellent, the suspension is firm but not punishing and extremely well balanced. Did I mention the car is very balanced? The Spyder is definitely more Mozart than Sammy Hagar. With a decent set of track tires you should easily dispatch all other production Porsches except GT3s on most tracks. A nice roadster for a select few buyers.
