Where's the 987 forum?

Is this the place to be for 987 discussions, or is there a different forum somewhere that's better? If this is the place, they should have called it Boxsterforum.com. 986forum was pretty short-sighted IMO.

986, 987.. whats the difference.. they are all Boxsters and we are all Boxster owners. Seems a tad short sighted to expect a special name for your model designation

Which is exactly why it should have been called boxsterforum and not 986forum.

986 is specific to the pre-05 Boxsters, and that's why I'm asking if this forum is specifically meant ONLY for that type.

No we chat about all Boxsters and Caymans too.

I assume the original creator simply found the Boxster name taken or did not think long term.

No issues, 987 away.

Wow. Pretty strong opinions for someone who's only been on this forum for 5 days.

I know I appreciate the info on when the 986 was updated to the 987. Good stuff..... Keep it coming....

Also, using "boxster" in a web address is a legal no-no. Porsche has reserved the rights through trademarks and copyrights. I think that's why boxa.net (UK Boxster Forum) didn't use the full name and went with a ganster-pronunciation of it to get around it.

No sense in putting it off.

Really, no offense was intended to anyone. I'm not yet a Boxster owner but I'm looking to put an order in for an '07 soon and wasn't sure if this was the best place to exchange info. Looks like it is. The Rennlist and Pelican forums (the boxster ones) seem to be dead.

My current car is an '86 911 which I track often. The Boxster would be street only.
