The problem is that after a couple of hours driving in my 986 my back begins to ache a bit and the noise starts to get to me. Enter the 981 - quieter, plusher, luxury interior. Others understandably don't want that, but it works for me.
I apologize to everyone on the forum for being the demographic that drives these changes, but as a kid I had to walk 4 miles to school in 3' of snow....

Don't take this the wrong way, because I'm genuinely curious. If you have all of the issues with a stiff ride and loud exhaust, why are you even bothering with a Porsche? There are some really nice GTs out there with the same speed as the Boxster but coddle the driver better. You can get alot of car for the price of a new Boxster. The SLK, XK and Z4, even a used SL or DB9 come to mind. All much better at being fast GTs than the Boxster.
