New Member - '06 Boxster S on order
After passing on my Lotus Elise order slot because of the size of the car and anticipated challenges in the ownership experience, I test drove a Boxster S and was really impressed. Having loved Porsche since a kid because of a friend's father's Porsche and, more recently, my brother's '84 911 Carrera it didn't take much for me to think Porsche.
I worked out a fair deal with my local dealer for a July 1 build slot for an early 2006 Boxster S with late August delivery. It is pretty heavily optioned as far as performance options go: 2006 Boxster S 987 BASE Porsche Base Model Y1 Seal Grey Metallic V4 Metropol Blue Top FC Sea Blue Sport Seats C02 U.S. Standard/Emissions P74 Bi-Xenon Headlamp Package XCZ Sport Shifter 403 19" Carrera S Wheel 475 PASM 573 Automatic Climate Control 551 Porsche Windstop (Deflector) 342 Heated Front Seats M6B Sea Blue Floor Mats P01 Adaptive Sport Seats 639 Sport Chrono Pkg W/Out PCM 435 Sport Steering Wheel The Boxster will join the stable with a '02 MB C32 AMG and a modded '03 Subaru WRX. I do quite a bit of autocrossing and track days and look forward to driving the Boxster in these events. I'm glad I finally found a good Boxster board and look forward to reviewing it regularly.

Carl,
Welcome to the board and congrats on the 06 Box-car S. You have a well optioned car. Those 19" rims you ordered wont do much for you in AX but for a street car you are going to luv it. Mike |

It's tough to find any good selection of R compounds even in 18 inch diameter. I originally was thinking 18" but will any 17's fit over the brakes of a 987? If so does anyone have any suggestions for 17" track wheels and tire sizes for a "minus 2" set up? |
Welcome aboard and much luck on your new Box!!!!!!!!!! :cheers:

Carl,
Double thumbs up on that color combo. I read your options listing and noticed that you chose the SPORT SEATS. I am curious to know.... The back of your seats have a titanium colored plastic backing. I have an 05' S and my seats have a leather or "leather looking" backing. Your seats also have a strap that holds the seatbelt close to the seat so you don't have to reach completely around to grab the buckle. My 05' does not have that strap..... Do you know, are these items because of the sport seats option or because Porsche made a change for 06'? Thanks Todd |
Adaptive Sports Seats
I do have the expensive adaptive sports seats and I believe all these items you mentioned are exclusive to these seats. I remember reading the manual saying the strap is on the sport seat only.
The seats are great. Highly adjustable and convenient with the memory features. Makes it much easier when driving after my wife and vica versa. |
Beautiful indeed!

Congrats!
Really looks sharp. I think all of us are impressed with the updated interior workmanship and materials Porsche updated the 987 with. Drive it gloriously and enjoy it. It is an addicting drive. :cheers:
