Sorry guys.


Yes it was a c6.


I believe 987 Boxster S brakes are slightly better than the Vette brakes, 107 ft from 60-0 as opposed to 110. Both very good.


The standard c6 uses an old fashioned leaf spring suspension, but there are 3 different suspension options, one of which is the z51 which also upgrades the brakes so I hear.


The Boxster and C6 are different animals. It certainly does not have that roadster feel to it. You know, the agility and confinement all in one.


I feel that I identify w/ both cars in a way. I enjoy massive power which, in any other car, would come at an extremely high price tag, but I love the refinement and precision of my Boxster.


To get both of these in one, I'd probably have to spend 100k+ on a European exotic.



But what if... I got a c6 and put a few thousand into suspension mods. Then a few thousand into bolt-ons and I have a Ferrari 360 at my fingertips.


I am really wanting one of these. The Boxster is a lease, so I'm stuck w/ it (not that that's a bad thing) but I am still going to buy one of these.


I'm still slightly torn between the vette and the elise. I prefer the elise but my dad and stepmother think it's too dangerous... Gotta hate parents sometimes.
