Talking 911 vs. Boxster

I myself considered trading my Boxster in for a 911. My reason was I wanted more power. I love my Boxster, but was starting to get bored of the power of my 2.5L. I agree, to each is his/her own, but for me the 3.4L swap was the best thing I did as now I love the car even more. 911 is a great car, an icon, but for me I love the Boxster's mid engine layout, 2 seat, top down etc. I got to take a 996 C4 for a ride before I bought my Boxster and loved the power of the C4 and just the way a Porsche drives and sounds. Now I have the best of both worlds. In the end, the swap was less expensive with lower kms & of course a naturally aspirated engine and reliability. A 911 that would have costs the same on average had higher kms. Plus, the Boxster with its layout and lighter weight, make the Boxster with a 3.4L a blast to drive. A great balance, that is the word for it!!! Yes, some will say it is not a 911 still, but for me, I don't care, I love my Boxster and everytime I look at her I smile. I have made it my own and there isn't one that looks like it that I have seen. In the end, you gots to love what u got to be satisfied.
