well no offense but comparing a 911 to Boxster is like saying:


X5 or an s2000?

they are two totally different cars.

You first have to decide do you want a roadster or a coupe.

each of those two options has its own considerations.

For me, if you want a Porsche and a roadster the only choice is the boxster.

A 911 Cabriolet to me is sacrilege.
That car was intended to have roof on it.

The Boxster was specifically designed to be a drop top.
I don't beleive in these car companies that hack off a roof on a sports car and put it out on the market. Its a compromised product from a sportscar driver's stand point.

The Boxster is such a good sports car that they decided to make a coupe out of it.
Now that's saying something.

On my list of Sportcar coupes is definitely a 911 hopefully a GT3.
A standard 911 is grossly overpriced new. There are far better options for your money.
But used a 996 is an excellent value. with a few mods it can look like a $100,000 car even though you only paid $40,000-$50,000
