At first I thought it was a huge omission, but in practice, I don't miss it at all. Lots of nooks and crannies (sp?)

No wonder it was so slow from 0-60. They had the tiptronic!

If you read the passage, they're quoting the manual-trans time. It sounds high because it's the 0-62. Porsche's published 0-60 is 5.1 with the 3.4, vs 5.2 with the 3.2, but are generally viewed as conservative.

The graphic is a comparison that Motor Trend did between the SLK55 AMG vs. the 3.2 S. The 3.4 Cayman is spliced in for comparison, assuming that the 987 S with the 3.4 will perform similarly.

Very good info.

well all these little storage pieces are nice, only one is lockable, and that is important if you have a convertible, so i think its a flaw.

and wasnt a glowebox an option from the start? (and who the hell makes a gloebox a option), its like u can buy the car, but wheels are optional, if you dont select ones u get no wheels, wtf? lol

i really likes THIS picture, wow

No, no, no. You got it all wrong.

It's spelled crooks and nannies...

Make a note of it.

That's what I thought!

I was looking for the glove box, too until I found the bins under the door armrests. They hold a good bit of stuff. Coming from the S2000 with its "secret compartment", are there any that the Box has that I might not be aware of. I know of all the ones mentioned.
