What? BC I'm not quite sure what your getting at? 250hp has NEVER been ok in my eyes. Porsche may think so, Purists may think so. But the automotive enthusiast community for the entire history of the wheel does not. The world of enthusiasts have thrived to produced a better car than factory. Honda's with thousands of HP, Muscle Cars with the agile suspension of a sports car. Cars with Jet Engines. You purists keep on this binge of "The car is perfect the way it is"... No its not! Not in any way is it perfect. There are a thousand cars, including cars you would insult like a Honda or Toyota that are more perfect than the Porsche. Especially the Porsche Boxster. You want a Porsche that is perfect. I give you the 918! And even then, there are purists that talk crap about it. "Electric Motor, AWD! It doesn't look like an old 60's Porsche, RAWR! How Dare them!" Just Stop! Yeah sure I did? Actually, Yes! I did! And Have, And Do! Every single Day! I did not purchase my car for its performance, or lack there of. Its the slowest vehicle I've owned. Speed and performance were not on my mind when I was signing the paper work. In fact a little of the opposite. I was leaving a high horsepower, fast AWD sports car with little reliability that was getting me no where in life, to move onto a car, (It didn't have to be the Porsche, and it wasn't my first choice) that would help me build my credit up. Something I failed to do as a youngster. Something I let slip. I chose the Porsche because it at the time was the only car worth a damn I could finance. It was either the Porsche, or a Ford Focus. Mind you, I didn't need to finance, I could have kept going without car payments, But I wanted them. So what better choice. So don't come in here thinking the Boxster is soo high and mighty, it isn't. I'm sorry if that doesn't make friends around here but... Oh Well! Its the truth. Live with it, or move on.

And whos being negative? I thought we were talking shop.... Nerv isn't being flamed one bit. At least not by anyone I've seen. Were all simply talking shop. Something car people do. We talk, we nag, we argue, we contemplate and we daydream. I'm completely for what he is doing. More Options, the better.
