What is your next car up from a Boxster? - 986 Forum - The Community for Porsche Boxster & Cayman Owners

I don't really see the Boxster as a gateway drug

When I started looking for a nice weekend toy 5 years ago I thought I would get a nice 996TT or Ferrari. I drove quite a few but in reality the TT was just too much car (rarely out of 2nd gear in town) and I didn't want to blow $100k over 5 years maintaining the Ferrari. I just wanted a great, fun car to drive for kicks and grins.

I have since driven or been in the right seat of nearly every Porsche model built in the last 30 years. I still love my Boxster but admit to having a sweet tooth for a 987 Cay S. If a really clean one came along for about $25K I may have to have it.

cayman S is a realistic move from a 986 boxster

Hi,

Only a dream but here is my choice.

2003 BMW m5 in oxford green with extended caramel leather interior, running 275/35/18 all around (they fit, stock, and are the stock rear tire size), and with about 200 pounds removed from it via exhaust modification and minor other touches (easy to do).

My pic would be the Ferrari 550 MARANELLO. V12, 6 speed, about 500 hp and I like the front engine. Keep the Boxster as a daily driver.
