If I were buying a new 987S today, I'd order it with these "musts":

Litronics (I love mine and think they're totally cool)
Sport Chrono (for what it does to the car, not the stupid stop watch)
Bose with windstop (this is not a bad factory system one can live with for a long time)
Heated Seats (Adds another month or more to driving the car each year)
Floormats (what the heck, who'd buy a Porsche and skimp on the floormats?)

Stuff like seat memory, ceramic brakes, 19's, a full leather interior and other goodies just don't do anything for me although they might be huge for others.

However, I don't have $60k to do this, so it's just a pipe dream! One day though, I'm gonna walk into a dealership and order me a brand new Porsche just the way I want it and take European delivery. Spending a month in Germany (to get enough miles on the car to move through the break in period) ripping up the autobahns and driving the Nurburgring sounds like the most fun a guy could have with his clothes on!

Rondog, you may want to wait a few months. The 2007's should be out in August/September and they may have more HP's than the 05 & 06's. Just a thought.

Perhaps, bmussatti, you missed Rondog's new ride.

when i was at Walter's yesterday dealing with vibration issue, i asked Angie in service if she had the skinny on a 3.4 in the boxster - she said she's heard of no engine changes to the 987 for 07. porsche is gotta let the cayman sink in for a while before they starting changing things. in addition, they don't want to go killing the market for there $100k cars, by making the $50-70k segment just as good or better!
