Interesting Video on Air Cooled 911's

[coreseller]

23 minutes, that took longer than I expected Perfectlap .

I posted the video as food for thought for those who've been contemplating a move to air cooled or an additional P-car, not another "but my Boxster IS really a Porsche" debate. That crap is old and tired, give it a rest.

Well as someone who actually owns a Boxster on a Boxster forum, where a video discusses, some might even say mocks a Boxster, I think those of us who actually own a Boxster, and have been on this forum well before you ever joined, are more than entitled to post our old, tired crap in response to those purist comments.

If you don't want feedback given in a posted video that disagrees with what the typical purist believes about our beloved Boxster, then you might have more success finding comments along those lines on a 911 purist forum.

Know your audience...

p.s.
and for the record my first comment wasn't just about the Boxster being mentioned.

I had owned a Boxster for a few years and had done quite a bit of work to it myself, much more than most here.

Regarding mocking the Boxster, you are entirely too thin skinned about it. Why you care so much about others opinions on this is beyond me.

My "tired old crap" comment was directly towards you and you're one trick pony response to anything 911 related, you deride the model to feel better about yours, it's pathetic.

I do know the audience, P-Car enthusiasts, figured a 35 minute video might interest them.


DISCLAIMER.....If you are prone to wet yourself over any snide remarks or body gestures concerning a Porsche Boxster please do not watch the above video beyond the 30 minute mark.

Which it sure will as we all love Porsches.

But taking exception to this Porsche camp turning their nose down at our Porsche camp is the Porsche community way: These guys make fun of the 928, those guys make fun of the 996, these guys say the 914 is crap, bla, bla, bla. It's just part of the Porsche thing. No need to have a seizure every time it comes up. But I am always surprised when I hear purists buy into the Porsche marketing spin that anything not a rear engine car is somehow less Porsche.

By the way, I suscribe to Drive on YouTube, I was going to post this video as well.

Just to add though, the guy with the undesirable hair's DD is a MR2 Spyder... We all know that the only reason ANYONE would buy a late model MR2 is because they can not afford a boxster.

Not really. At all. MR2 Spyder is a great car with a reliable engine. Always has been. The seating position was a little weird for me on the newer one. But I've seen it peform pretty well at autocross. There were these two guys at one club, where one drove an 80's MR2 and another drove an early 1990's Civic and those two guys were seperated by 0.01 seconds week after week after week. Easily two of the quickest drivers out there on any given day.

late model... i love older MR2's... regardless even if he could afford a boxster and choose a MR2 over it. How could you hate on the boxster, it follows the same principles of his car mid engine convertible that isn't a super car. They are literately the only two cars in that class.

I really like after drive and have been watching it for months, but even in other occasions like with all the BRZ or that segments, they seem to be snide to the boxster. Gawking over Z4s and Viggens *i do love a viggen and many locals helped build those original Z4s here in S.C. so i do respect and care for those car* Yet not even mentioning a boxster, something that top gear and fifth gear have mentioned as a GREAT car for a used car buy, and that was a few years ago when prices were even higher. I really like and respect all the 911s in the video, just for me i feel the "real Porsche" cut off is later in years. The only thing even about current Porsches that particularly gets to me is one of the dials being a Screen with Nav and such, I have never found anything so tacky in my life. Screens on the console are fine but keep them away from my instrument cluster.
