yes I do consider any six figure car that gets spanked by SEVERAL seconds at Laguna by a Corvette to be a robbery. Too heavy and not enough power for those Ferrari like prices.

IMHO, the Boxster looks MUCH better than the 997 Cab, and the Ruf Box is a much better value than the C2S Cab, again IMHO.
Name a convertible sports car (need not be just Porsche) that better combines everyday drivebility (two trunks!) with exotic car (mid-engine) performance, and good looks and price it against the $95k Ruf Box.
All arguments against $100k Boxster are based on the "drawing looks" and image argument. Personally I don't give a rat's a** about drawing looks and image.
And I do believe that a well maintained Ruf Box will be much more valuable then a C2S convertible 10-20yrs down the road. In general, I believe that the Boxster will become a classic, as the design has timeless elements to it, so the sooner they stop mass producing it, the better.
I agree that the stock 987S has plenty of power but more power is always better.
