sports cars I've driven since buying my BoxsterS (not 100% on the model years):
911 993
911 996
944
M3 97, 2001
M5 2002
330ci(?)
Z3
M coupe thing
SLK
SL 500
C thing with the sports package
GTi 1999 and Turbo Golf
Corrado
Corvette 88? with a HUGE engine upgrade guy went through like 4 trannies.
S2000
STi (holy cow that turbo kicks in like a hurricane)
Mini Cooper S
that big Jag convertible thing (is that really a sports car?)
was a passenger in 04 Corvette (yellow/black)
My conclusion:
I wouldn't trade my BoxsterS for ANY OF THEM. The first time I heard that engine/intake sound coming from behind my ears, my eyes
and when I got on those brakes
and the way it took a turn
. I was --no kidding-- salivating.
I guess with a mid engine Porsche you either get it (the bug) or you don't.
p.s.
its ironic but my $7,000 Miata made more of an impression on me than any of those cars above. It might be the only new car with a retro feel, haven't driven that Elise yet though..
