I like the 911s and the 996 - my friend Ed has a Red 996 with the GT3 aero kit and it is a sweet machine and he is fast as heck on the track with it. He let me drive it once and the extra horsepower was a major kick in the pants when I hit the gas. For me it was always the Boxster, mid engine 2 seat was what I was looking for. (When I was first looking the air cooled 911s were still reasonable and some were priced about the same or even a little lower than some of the Boxsters I was looking at...)

I've been lucky in that I haven't had any 911>Boxster type of talk my way - where I get it is when I am at autocross and gridded up next to a BRZ or something and they are beating my times.... They really seem to like that

On the track, I really like passing 911's, especially the older ones.
