HP is Overrated

[drburton]

I don't necessarily agree with the title of this post, but there is an interesting article in MotorTrend that talks about the complaints regarding the Cayman/Boxster HP. Ultimately, the point is the car is perfect the way it is, don't fret over the HP.

I am attaching a scanned version, might be hard to read b/c I had to reduce the size to get the file uploaded.

Good read Drburton, thanks for posting (just save the picture and zoom it up a little in any windows pic reader/editor).

I agree with two of his opinions...the base 987/C7 is a blast to drive and the basic CD24 is a piece of crap.

I was able to read it...thanks for posting. I agree, it made for a good read.

Very good, although eye-straining, read.


Makes me feel better about my car, assuming the Cayman and base 987 are interchangeable



I gave her a lot of work today.

Very good read. HP is a bit over rated. When running from stop light to stop light its fun, but I like turning better than going straight.

Yesterday I woke up early and headed out into the country. I put the top down and hit my favorite motorcycle roads for the first time in my Boxster. It was amazing. I could feel the wheels gripping and pulling, taking each turn as it was meant to be taken. Braking, down shifting, swinging into the turn, and accelerating through the apex I felt like the Boxster was having the time of her life.

I am so glad I bought a Boxster.

Oh, and I like in the article where the author says that every true sports car should have a crap stereo. hahahaha.
