Reason for me is it is a classic mid engine layout and a lot of bang for the buck . I had built a 1975 914 chassis into a /6 GT clone complete with 3.0 911 SC engine . Did the welded flares , complete suspension makeover with 911 calipers/rotors she was a great running car . But it lacked creature comfort that is needed ( in my opinion ) when living in the Southeast . It is just too hot/humid to drive without AC . Either that or you lose too much driving time saying it's too hot out.
Enter the Boxster with all modern amenities , excellent handling , good storage space and affordable . Then throw in fantastic braking , nice 6 cylinder sound and the crash safety designed into the car what is not to like ? I traded the 914 to get the Boxster and have never missed it . My Boxster S GT3 clone is EVERYTHING i need and want , it does it all .
