But would you really say it was more fun than your Box? I guess it's very subjective...

I've never driven one but have heard many others say--yeah, the car can do amazing things but it's just not as engaging as a Boxster. It's too clinical---and as you said--like a video game. The engine/exhaust doesn't have that soulful sound and it has so much power you would rarely get to use much of the engine range anyway. And little real connection between driver and car.

I guess I should drive one, if anything, just for the experience.

Go test drive a MY09 Boxster S with PDK and come back to us with a comparison, that might be interesting. It won't have quite the 0-60 acceleration (but 4.1 seconds ain't slow!) but would love to hear your thoughts on how fast the shifts are relative to GTR. I drove PDK a month ago and I think it's impossible for any tranny to shift faster than this one.
