Think about buying a Boxster or Corvette

Not to turn this into a golf thread, but do you guys seriously do the three wheel cart thing?...lol....just kidding to each their own... Better yet, leave your sticks at the club and only take them when you travel to another course...

Heck, if you want a car that will go fast just buy an 05 or 06 pontiac GTO. Those things are dirt cheap now (so ugly) and they have the corvette engine. You can fit clubs in that thing. There are tons of options, but if you go that route you could add another 100-200 HP by doing some lingenfelter mods. So all in all you could have a 560 HP car for well under 30,000. But if you want to be cool, buy a boxster.

I owned a C5 and traded my C6 for a Boxster S.
One reason I traded was poor dealer service. My experience with GM dealers are they are a constant source of frustration - I am hoping my Porsche dealer will be better - maybe naive, but I figured I had nothing to lose.

In terms of performance, the C6 is much better than the C5 and both are faster than my 2006 Boxster S. The C6 handles differently but probably on a track just as good as the Boxster.
For me, I like the Boxster being a roadster, and I think it is easier to drive fast - if that makes any sense.

You mean it's more stable at high speeds?

My 2CENT advise before you even step foot at a Porsche dealership is know 100% what you want done. Otherwise you will max out your credit card.
The #1 reason is everyone in the Porsche dealership gets a commision from your car.Yes the parts dept get %.

The only thing similar between a Vette and a Porsche is the number of seats and number of wheels. YOU must test drive them. Test drive them in the environment you will USE the car. Judge and compare everything good and bad. Then come to the "right" conclusion (a Boxster )

We play a lot of 9 hole after work and my bag is pretty damn heavy !

Ever since I bought the Box, I have to rent a pull cart ( even though I have 2 in the garage ).

There has got to be a cart out there that fits in the front trunk ?

Help !

dbth,

Thanks ! Nice cart, but $200 for a pull cart is a little excessive...

Appreciate the help, though...
