Dave, toss a 3.6L in that S and you'd have the perfect Porsche roadster

"Somewhere someone said that the corvette may be fun to rip but you still feel like your sitting in a rental car."

Certainly not to me they don't.

I have a $125K Porsche TT in my garage, next to the $44 C5.

Which one would I buy if it were my money?

Hmmm

it is a shame but we never see any new corvettes here, the old imported restored ones on occasions and only in exhibitions or car show, is the old vettes to you like the 993/996 debate we have with the porsche purists?
the newer vettes looks like a handful, would'nt mind to have a go......

Top gear gives a good look at the Vette and 911. Even though I think the brits don't much like American cars. I actually got a new respect for the base model C6.

You're welcome.

When people risk their lives, shouldn't it be for something very important?
Well, it better be.
But what is so important about driving faster than anyone else?
Lots of people go through life doing things badly. Racing's important to men who do it well.
When you're racing, it's life. Anything that happens before or after is just waiting.

These are great videos any links for the box or box s..I looked though the old video threads no luck thanks Vettes are great in a straight line but the box put it to shame everywhere else.

I'm with you but don't type this again or you are likely to get a Karate ass kicking from the master...

Go to www.racingflix.com and do a search for boxster. There are about 10 different videos on there that should pop up.
