I was actually very surprised given that mine is an auto. I thought the new 400HP GTO would just eat the Boxster for lunch, and it started to look that way, but in the end, I was very pleased. Now, I did not take the interstate back and it was in the evening on a rural stretch of Highway... not another car for miles either way. I was actually in the passing lane for a mile or so. My car is has the 968S badge and the speedster humps. When we came to a stop sign in a little town call Point, he pulled up next to me and asked what kind of Porshce I was driving... he had not seen one like it. So, he wasn't too familiar with Porsches. I did not think the humps and new badging would camoflauge the Boxster so well.
I like the Boxster so much, I think I am going to sell it and buy a newer model with a little more HP and a stick. I have about $21,000 in mine with the tune up and new tires. It has the heated seats, tiptronic, de-ambered, speedster humps, 18" turbo twist wheels, and new tires, and just had its 60K mile tune up. Do you think I can get my money back out of it to upgrade? I am thinking I want a silver 06 with the black top and 6 speed.
