Of all the cars I have had in my 30 years of driving NONE have given me as much sheer joy as my various Porsche's. For me that's what makes a happy customer.

Did someone get up on the wrong side of the bed this morning? Jim, you need to chill.

BTW, the Boxster is the car that saved Porsche. It's the car that allowed them to build the Cayenne which,...

Yep, every decade or so Chevy has to one up Porsche.

Of course what would happen if you put the new GT3 or Turbo up against the Z-06. Drop a stock C6 on the track against a stock 997 and see...

You can love the Boxster and still love and own a 911 without there being any contradiction.

I've owned a couple 911's including the car nicknamed the Widow Maker (930) as well as Corvettes and...

Since I didn't buy the car locally my dealer (and Porsche) only covers a loaner car for warranty service. I don't think the gas cap qualifies. :D

There may be another reason for changing the fluid. I was having a slow 2nd gear syncro issue, especially when cold. I figured I'd change the fluid with some highly regarded synthetic and see what...

Porsche didn't leave much on the table with any of their motors.

Yes, these cars as well as the 996's are a PITA when it comes to the mid 70's speeds. I just swapped out a used set of modular rims with BBS RS-GT's and brand new N1 Pilots and it's glass smooth up...

My '03 S chart says 29 front 36 rear for all sizes. I'm running 32/36 with 18's and find it handles and rides very well. I bump the fronts 4 lbs and the rear 2 lbs for autocross. I haven't done a...

Kronix,

Check your tire sizes. Proper sizing is

225/40x18 - 265/35x18
225/35x19 - 265/30x18

Stick with those and you'll get the optimum performance. Your car isn't designed for super fat...

The 3.2 wins, especially the '03 - '04 flavor.

I think it's been proven for the most part that most of the "bolt on's" provide little to no real world performance benefit on the Boxster motors. ...

If you are considering all tires then add these to your list

Bridgestone Potenza RE050A Pole Position
Yokohama ADVAN Neova AD07

I'm leaning toward the Yoko's the next time I need tires.
