My thoughts exactly!

But since the price is way above the boxster, I'm never parting with her. The 996TT/GT3 will become her brother instead

Somebody on here got a 996TT for $29K I think, I can't think of the name, and Trendy996 has one too I think. I got a ride in one at the track by someone that really knew how to drive, holy $%^&*

Exactly....

The correct answer for the number of cars to have is always, n + 1....

For me, my next car that will sit next to the Boxster will be an F348ts, and then maybe another Corvette. Who knows.

My sons have been after me to get a new Corvette.

What is the comparison like between the Boxster and the Corvette other than pure power? The Vette seems so much bigger and heavier.

I had a C6 for a while. The Corvette gives so much more torque and power than the Boxster. That being said, the Boxster handles so much better.

Corvette is coming out with a mid engined version soon, and that may really tip the scales...

Also, from an affordability standpoint, the Corvette is much easier on the wallet....

Different cars...I like them both....for different reasons. LOL.
