My 99 is a not-S. Haha. I do have to admit, if I ever get a newer Boxster or a different Boxster, it will be an S. Or, I'll bit the bullet and find a Honda S2000. I bought the BOxster because it cost me 1/2 as much as the Honda S 2000. And I don't regret my purchase, my 99 has been reliable, head turning, and a pleasure to drive. THe previous owner(s) put a handful of extras into it that set it apart for any of the other 3 or so Boxsters here in the Durango, Pagosa area of Colorado. I look for excuses to take her for a ride.

Well, mine's an s, but it's a small s, you see, cuz it's a wussamatic! so at the track, they won't let me run with the 911 GTS RS guys cuz they've got really big S's!

"S" or non "S" does make a difference when identifying certain things, but I do see some people point it out on bit that make no real difference~

I like my current Boxster because it does not have an "S" badge on the back, just a plain jane "Boxster" emblem~

Which makes it all the better when I STOMP THEIR ASS WITH MY V8 CAR BWAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHA!!!!!!

Was just looking at the Chevy crate motor page again last week... I think a new LT1 motor in a Boxster would be pretty sweet~

Would be interesting to see which is faster... I've got ya by 20 HP :dance:
