LOL
your curt mechanic may be right. The 911 owners love ths short shift,
Boxster opinions are mixed.
I've been on the fence but I find the stock set up to be to nothchy already.
I have a similar take on most things expensive. I expect it to be top notch right out of the box and they better not give me one iota of slack cuz I could have simply gone elsewhere with my dinero. Unfortunately Porsche know their owners emotions about their cars let them get away with mistakes and they don't need to bend over backwards for their clients. Annoying for sure but Germans do have a rap for arrogance.
But a recent trip to the mazda parts desk where a chain smoking truck cap wearing toothless angry parts guy made me wait 10 minutes just to tell they didn't have what I wanted made me realize how cushy the Porsche experience is.
by the way you didn't actually say you were thinking of giving up the Porsche for the "ultimate tanning machine"? That's a nice nice car but NOT a sports car.
M3 Cabriolet ok, a sports car albeit a structurally compromised one...
If its any consolation my Boxster is ready and I have nice $700 bill waiting for
me at service pick up tonight. I hope that includes the two day rental car.
