Oh, and at 56,000 pounds, it is the same price, in 2008, that the 911 was in 97? And that makes a 997 how much in 2008? Like you could buy an RS60 for yourself and a standard for your wife?
Vicki said the Boxster felt much more nimble and "chuckable" yet her time was slower?
From the attitude toward the Boxster from the two gents, I was turned off long before Vicki took the track.

F*ck Em, I got over the poor man's Porsche when I drove the ridiculously maligned 944 which was actually a fantastic sports car. Then Hyandai had to join in with their "the genesis is faster to sixty than a Porsche Boxster". Gee Mr Announcer, it's a V8 @ 300 HP, even so how does it do from sixty on up to 120 against the Boxster? How it the Genesis in a corner?

It never ends, I've seen Ferrari guys saying the 308 GTS is a pussy underpowered Ferrari...

The 944 is an incredibly well designed and balanced car. The Porsche faithful does have issues with change, no doubt.

Those turbo version 968's can wail the h*** out of the same era 911 and that is likely why there are none being produced today. Gotta protect the VW based car at all costs.
