Thumbs up Stryke you gone uptown on us!

Congratulation on your car. Enjoy it. No comparison to your Boxster but mellow mature executive type. Is it the fourmatic? Don't know if i said correctly, I meant the 4 wheel drive one the MB makes?

No, it's the AMG Sport package. I don't believe they make them in a 4-MATIC.

I have the original sticker that came with it. Fully loaded @ $97,500.

Guy who had it before me lost a few 10K's.

I had 4 cars and am down to 3 now. I am selling the Lexus you see in the second pic so I'll be down to only 2. I'm consolidating and need practicality and the Boxster wasn't practical. Barely ever drove it. I like this car much better.

The Boxster S was faster off the line but at around 70-80mph when you punch it this Benz will blow it away. The Porsche was alot of fun and god knows I put a ton of love and money into it but I just wasn't driving it much. This will be my daily commuter.

AMG for Boxster

I went the other way. I sold my C43 AMG for my Boxster. The Boxster may not have the HP, but it is lighter, better ride, better gas mileage, better handling, and it is a Porsche.

You can't compare your new car to the Boxster. Your new car has to weigh over 1400 lbs more than the Boxster. Even though MB has more horse power the additional mass of your new car more than erases any advantage it might have Factually and backed up with numerous of road tests completed there is nothing in the road, not the 911, even the Enzo, that can match the Boxster S, in agility and driving dynamics.

Ofcourse I'm not comparing performance. That is not what this car is made for. But for a large sedan it performs exceptionally well. The weight is heavy off the line but as I said above once you are moving at 70-80mph the weight makes no difference and the 300+ HP V8 really picks up well when you slam it on the highway. This is a daily cruiser, not a sports car by any means.

I told my wife that in a few years when we're done with the house I will buy a 911.
