The Boxster's evolution reminds me of the original Nissan Z. The 986 is a lot like the 240z. It's smaller, lighter, slower, simpler, less refined than the 260z or 280z that followed.... but somehow the 240z is the purest expression of a sports car.

I bought a new 240Z in 1973. Probably the worst car I have ever owned. I had to keep a tow drivers card in my glove compartment to use when I broke down. Those hitachi carbs were the pits. I think the 1972 240's were pretty good. They had SU's.
