Pirelli P Zero Rossos is what I would get

I don't think I have ever owned a better tire. They did not last too long but at about 13K miles it is not too bad for hard driving on a Porsche. The grip is amazing but more importantly the car is...

Yes, the transmission cost was $4900. Then add labor and the bill was
just under $6000. They estimated that with the damage it had, a rebuild
would have cost more because of labor.

Dealer diagnosis is that the transmission is failed. Porsche requires them to open it up and make a repair/replace assessment. They can only get to it 2 weeks from now so I will be out of a Porsche...

Thanks for the encouragement. I'm just hoping they will replace it and not try to rebuild. I'm looking forward to a Porsche that doesn't grind gears. You are probably right, the previous owner most...

Hi guys/girls,

My Boxster S (2003, 22K miles) had been showing some
trouble engaging 2nd gear for a few weeks when cold.
Once the syncros warmed the problem went away.
Other gears were just...

I have one on the AUDI and one on the Porsche. I had the AUDI chip repaired and after 2h the chip looks exactly the same. Insurance company paid for it, but it really did not change a thing.

It's Porsche country where I live in Maryland. I usually see one Boxser a day, more on weekends. I see about 2 911 per each Boxster. Curiously, Boxster S are rare. I'd say 90% are plain Boxsters. We...

Not a silly question at all

My children love the S. I had to get the Porsche seat because I needed the airbag deactivation device ('03 car). It was not cheap, but totally worth it. Highly recommended.

1. I like it that way, I don't own this car to show off but to enjoy driving it. This typical of Porsche owners. Those that prefer the noisy in your face style can always mod the cars.

2. I think...

I would suggest an '03

I recently bought a CPO '03 with 13.5K miles from a dealer for
about $3K more with 4 new Pirellis after a little negotiation.

For the price you are considering I would suggest you go for an
