It looked just like the one on the cover of the June 2011 EXCELLENCE magazine except for 2 things. It had a charcole color interior and Georgia plates on it. This copy had A/C, radio and Navigation display.

Those racing seats were actualy comfotable for our 40 minute drive. The racing seats only adjust fore and aft. No other adjustments. I would definately order with regular sport seats.

The driving experience was simular to our S in handling and ride comfort. We were limited in our test corse to a prescribed route and we had a Porsche factory person leading the caravan of cars. They let us romp a little, but we were told to keep it legal. Yeah right (several 100+ bursts) The extra 80 HP and TQ was definately fun. I have always wanted 300+ HP in the Box. It did bottom out on the rough spots more easily than the S due to lower stance and shorter suspension stroke. Over all ride quality was fine. We drove the same corse in the Box afterwards and I was Ok with the ride of both cars.
