i want to agree with what some have already said.

evo, who? i too had to look it up.

if you want a fast car and don't care about what you drive, then why not just buy a rice rocket..aka (civic with mod engine)

but as far as head turners...i can guarantee that most of the people out there will be wow'ed by you driving a porsche and won't car a rat's bottom that you drive a "fast" mitsu.

that's my opinion. never regretted getting my boxster and love it.

I hate to rain on your parade, but most people don't think "Wow, that's a cool car" they think "yup there goes another rich prick in his Porsche." So you bought the car to turn heads and impress people? I'm sorry.

Well, at least you're honest about it. Badge snobbery is out of control in this thread. I'm convinced if Porsche decided to put a crest on a turd somebody would buy it.

Wow! a lot of you guys do not know much about cars on the market today. I got crazy looks in my Evo 8. i still do all the same stuff in my boxster that i did in my evo but at half the speed and intensity . I get a lot of old hag bag cougers looking at me in my boxster too.
The Lancer Evolution is held in high regards throughout the world. The Evo X is a direct descendant of the world rally championship Evolution that dates back well over a decade. (does Tommi Makkinen ring a bell ) This cars 2.0 makes almost 300 h.p. and has one of the most sophisticated all wheel drive systems on the market and let me tell you they are built like tanks ! The guys on the Evo forums don't put 3,500 away for when their car breaks ,that amount will almost net you 400 h.p. at the wheels.
I hate to say it but a lot of you guys are posers in your boxsters because if you are a real car guy you would know what and evo is . you may not like it's looks but you would respect it's performance and history. The Evolution X is not your typical queer ricer.

Hey I gave you respect , sounds like fun, ditch the Box and get a Rocket. Send us pics, I'm sure we'd like to see it, heck I'll probably notice them on the road now. My son is 20 and loves BMWs, I couldn't give him my Boxster if I tried (though he does love driving it ). I remember a couple of years ago I wouldn't have been interested in a Boxster, went to a Porsche gathering in NC Mountains last year and got hook...I was a Cayman guy at first.

Perhaps not, but it sure looks like it is!

It's hard for me to even look at pictures of it online - if I had one in the driveway I'd leap over the back fence to avoid looking at it.
