All that said, if I got rid of the Boxster I’d buy a 993. I couldn’t afford the 993 so, I bought a Boxster.


wow, a super car for only $33,000?! Looks like I found my next car!

the 996 turbo is still an amazing vehicle and still looks new. With 4 wheel drive, 0-60 in 4.1 and 12.5 quarter stock it'll hang with anything available

that said I think I'll keep the boxster for a awhile, until the style becomes as dated as a 924. It'll be a great backup when my future 996 turbo is in the shop

I'll go ahead and get the Litronic headlamps for the Boxster and some tasteful OEM-looking LED tail lights and be done with the upgrades, it's pretty much perfect as-is. I know people say the 2.5 is "slow" but I've already killed cars that are suppose to be much faster than the 2.5 and it's fun killing 300+hp cars with a 200hp engine
