Base Model is better choice than S

[ho2go]

If you're going to get an S for performance, then you better get options like the Sport Chrono and PASM too. Once you do, the price is getting up so high that I can't imagine not just getting a Carrera coupe.

Not really and exactly, respectively. For the performance nut who doesn't want to drop $60K+ on a new car, an S with very few options would fit the bill (sorry, no more puns, I swear) nicely.

I'd rather have a stripped S than a loaded base model, but that's just me. Of course, if you're pressing your financial limits with the base model then that's the reality. I'm sure you'd have great fun it the base model too!

OK, now talk me into an S, but when you're done, tell me the price of the car and why I'm not getting a new 911 coupe for $10K more.

If you're spending all that money for the base Boxster then what's another $10,000 spread over several years?

You guys are funny.
You remind of me of the 944 guys, "Can anyone help me make my n/a faster?...reply: Yes, sell your car and get a 951(944 turbo).

This basically translates to you guys too. "Sell your base and get an S"

I've not really heard any of the 911 guys say "Sell your base and get an S, Turbo, GT3, or GT2." Is this some sort of "little man syndrome". Every 911 owner I've talked to just says, "I AM GLADE TO HAVE MY CAR"
I know lots of people that have 993s and 964s with less hp than 996s and they profusely are against selling their slower car for a faster and better handling 996 or 997. Why? beside from the air-cooled factor, BECAUSE THEY ENJOY WHAT THEY HAVE.

My opinion is, I am glade you got a PORSCHE AND ENJOY IT.

edit:
And if you don't have an S, I say don't worry about what anyone else says. They are just jealous that they don't have a CARRERA GT :dance:
