The Boxster also sucks as a track car. All of that nonsense about a low polar moment of inertia, near 50/50 balance, and quick as lightning handling - who needs that? And who cares if it makes a perfect dual use track/street car - what is the point if you don't need a $40K truck and trailer?

How dare you stop the regularly scheduled paranoia and chicken little "sky is falling" marketing and mental mindset around here? Shame on you - many people have spent countless days, months and years perfecting their pitch and gloomy outlook.

...and the terrible burden at an autocross. Answering all of those questions after topping cars with more HP and quicker 0-60 times. It's just infuriating! Maybe I should sell the 986 and get a Miata....NOT!!!

Oh no, be paranoid, be very very paranoid. I heard a guy had an issue this week with his 15 year old car so we must all check ours for the same issue because they are notoriously unreliable

I slaughtered 326 butterflies yesterday on the Zane Grey Highway. This thing has turned me into an uncaring monster.
