Spyder.

I have to say. The more I see posts and photos about the boxster spyder the less I like it. The humps are ugly and ricey, there is not enough tire on any of the new models with 19's, the top flat out sucks, the door handle/pull is stupid and is just a gimmick. They should have been original and stuffed a 997.2 gt3 motor in it. If they wanted to save weight on the car instead of the dumb ass roof they should have gave it a loud exhaust and saved all the weight there. They should all come standard with ceramic brakes too. I don't care if all this would make it out of the price range for the boxster market people. They would unleash a new breed though. Something in the lambo/ferrari range that would piss a lot of people off.

In closing. Put together a boxster with real door handles, a 450hp engine with some beefy brakes and some gt3 suspension and make it loud as hell. Oh and some PDK for me. Not everyone is a fan of PDK but bring on the paddle shift. It would be a wake up call for all the people who feel the need to buy a carrera just for the higher price tag status.

I understand all the people that will not be on board with this post.
