Heya Adam, thanks for the kind words... The car is so different these days, it's more set up for the road course now but I've done some more stuff to it recently and intend to go back to see what she runs. I think 9s is gonna be very very tough

It was hard enough to get into the 10s but I doubt she'll go 9s but we'll see.

I get to drive Boxster S' all the time and love 'em... I almost got the 987 but I figured I'm going to wait for the cayman. I know the name sucks but damn that is going to be one great car.

Glad to hear you like the box s. I'm sure it feels like a slug compared to your ride. What's your car pushing something like 750-800hp? I noticed your car only rides 2-3 inches inches off the ground....can you drive that on public streets without ripping scraping the fascia?

Always loved 'em. They might not have the same power but they don't way as much and with the mid-engine have an interesting appeal with their handling. I love it. I think it's going to be hard for me to walk away from a Cayman... I'll probably mod the heck out of it too lol. Funny thing is Porsche knows if they outfitted the Boxster with the same motor as a 997 or 996 it'd SPANK the 911.

The car has 800hp now and that picture you see is after we raised it an inch. During the shoot out in Vegas in December is was so low I could barely get my hand underneath it. I've learned to go sideways and scrape occasionally.

You know I have a couple of 911s in stock right now. They ARE a very cool car. I agree that the mid engined car is the one for most drivers but I have to admit I feel pretty cool dropping the top and going for a ride in the 911-4.

Hey, they are ALL pretty nice, no?
