seeking input from boxster onwers on their 986

[Ghostrider 310]

I agree with topless, in many situations, having more power is awesome. However, I still think driving a base Boxster is a lot of fun. Especially since you get to drive the engine hard and listen to it in the upper RPM range again and again. Both the S and the base are great cars, getting seat time in any 986 is a gift for any car enthusiast's bucket list. I liked my 986 fine, I do love the Spyder even more, it's like a pissed off 986 that lifts weights and takes steroids. As for cash, I paid a good sum for the pleasure of seeing a Spyder in the garage. I don't regret it one bit, it is the newest Porsche I have ever purchased and even though it required some tightening, like a digital antenna versus cable, it's well worth watching reruns on 22 channels instead of a 100, would make the same concessions again in a minute.
