Very sweet ride, congrats, its interesting how similar the dash looks to the Boxter. So I have to ask the question I usually ask and that is how is the ride compared to the Boxster?

The Vette is for sale on consignment. The ride is surprisingly smooth even with the low profile tires and lowered stance. It very similar to the Boxster, feels bigger and softer. I don't know if that makes any sense. Porsche around here is like seeing an alien, Its been fun so far.

I cant believe I'm faced with a super charger dilemma already.

Welcome back Ohio. Nice ride indeed. I am sure the Vette was fun but there is nothing quite like a Porsche. I see you got this one in the fast color .

Just curious

The Vette is nice, but there is nothing like the feeling of a Porsche. I'm already thinking about RMS. That weighed heavy on my mind with the Boxster too.

I need to keep my need for speed in check. Keep telling myself, just drive the car, just enjoy it. Then I look at this sitting in my basement.......
