Vette vs. Boxster 1 week later

[drburton]

Good information. Do you have a Boxster S or the Standard? So you don't miss the HP at all. I love my Boxster but do wish that it had a little more HP to get me moving on the straights.

..forgot to mention that I'm sure you look much 'cooler' in the Boxster, it is a Porsche after all

the handling on these two cars are worlds apart. the boxster looks way cooler in appearance imho!

actually my friend has a corvette sitting in his garage covered in 2 inches of dust.
its 1993 anniversary edition. the car has 15,000km. i dont think it has even been drivin in the past 10 years, just sitting in the garage.......why i ask him.........not a fun car to drive on the streets or in traffic. farrr too much power for city driving.

instead he drives his acura type r everyday and loves it over a corvette...

well my dad does, and I drove it religiously up to about 50K miles..it has 60 now....it was fast straight but a very bouncy ride....and don't hit a bump going fast because you think you are going to spin out and loose total control....your review of the C6 doesn't surprise me, I used to love vettes, then I drove the box and saw the light its funny to drive the vette hear andthere now, total what I was thinking!

I've got the Box standard. I took a nice depreciation hit on the Vette... drove the S and the Cayman. Loved the power in both. At the end of the day didn't make good fiscal sense for me. Especially after carving up some twisties in the standard. I also have two motorcycles in the garage so it's getting hard to split my time between three things I love, driving/riding... tough problems.
