Drove a @#$%^& Boxster S Today

[recycledsixtie]

I bought my 2001 base 2.7 l a year ago and did not even try an S model. I could have tried one but had too many miles on it(100K miles)and did not even consider it. So instead I bought the base with 31k miles. What I don't know about I don't care about. I think the salesman in your case knew what he was doing! Whether u want to spring for the extra $$$$ is up to you. I was looking for a low mileage, low priced(for Canada anyway) Porsche with heated seats and air cond., not big horsepower. What is important to u?

Honestly Im a performance junkie, I love power and the feeling of that push back in your seat from acceleration. I want a balanced car too. But for reference I have a customized vehicle with close to 450hp, but at the same time I really enjoy my BMW with only 255hp. So the nutshell is I want the power of the S!

A car model with more power is the car that the designers have strived for it to be.

Sometimes the first incarnations can be made better and thos seems to be the case for the Boxster S

You will not have "S" envy if you have an S, the only safeguard from it is to never drive an S.

Its too late for you lightning you must have an S now., welcome to the club!

Bad news...the '11 has a DFI motor, and with the PDK. I bet it has sport chrono, which helps with the "kick in the pants" feeling. Anything before 2010 will feel (and be) slower.
