Okay I'm replying to this dead thread. 911 is a status symbol from some of the comments I hear now that I own a boxster. If I had to buy a new Porshe (I wouldn't take that depriciation hit), I'm thinking what color and mods I want on the new boxster!
Porshe knows that if the put the bigger engine in the boxster like BMW does with the M's and Mercs AMGs, who would buy the 911? Okay maybe a few old school purist. But I like it this way. Besides, the engine is is the wrong place!! |
Fck guys, come on. Let this thread die, please.
911s are great cars. Boxsters are great cars. You wanna go pick on cars? Go laugh at Mustangs. |

So why get a 986 instead of another 'Stang?
Besides just wanting a better looking auto. ;) |

Well, not too add to this boxster/911 thing.
owning both 996 and 986 of the same year make me realize that people who think lowly on boxster normally not porsche owners or never driven a boxster before. Once someone approached me in gas station filling up the boxster asking about boxster as cheap porsche and 911 is the real porsche. I shot him down by saying boxster is actually more like a real porsche than 911. He was not happy by saying that only people can't afford 911 can say that. So I pulled the 911 registration out of my pocket and showed him that I own both, definitely know porsche better than him, his face turned red and left. I thought about selling the boxster after I decided to buy the 996. I cannot let my self selling the boxster, they are different cars. Boxster is more fun to drive, more like a go kart. 911 is more like a GT car, quiet and smooth. Main reason for 996 is the back seat for my daughter. Also, try to push boxster and 911 to their limit with traction off, and see what happens. I did and the results in 996 ain't pretty with the back end on the wrong side (almost no mercy when the rear end steps out)... |

"owner of the cheapest available Porsche"
all I care. It is a Porsche and it is within my budget. I cannot afford a GT3 so I will have to be satisfied with this one for the moment. Maybe one day it will be different. Many people are in the same situation so I feel fortunate already to own a Porsche. I already have a Superiority Complex haha |
I've no inferiority complex, but I want a 991S when I can afford one. I want far more power and a tin roof on my future porsche. Houston is not a good place for a Boxster IMO.

Chris, this is gonna sound crazy, but here goes nothing...
I want my next Pcar to be a DD. I like the interior of the 991 and want a PDK and a 3.8... And I want ventilated seats. Houston, Texas living/driving mandates it. Anyone from here will not argue its not a required feature on his or her next DD... Let the harassment begin! |

I was there in June and the roads in the countryside is perfect for our Boxster. I missed not having my car when I was there. |
