I test drove one in Atlanta. I really liked it. The dealer went with me but I expected as much! Hell, the ONLY way I would consider a delicate Lotus would be if it had a Toyota motor! I must...

40K-50K miles is a reasonable amount of wear for a clutch. You undoubtedly will want/need a new one. Maybe see if he can inspect the flywheel first, before he just replaces it. The part is usually...

I used to have a 300ZX Twin Turbo. I loved the straight line performance, but I didn't think that the handling was all that great. I was very close to getting a 350Z when I got the Boxster. I test...

The Boxster & Cayman seem to be slightly "overpriced" when held up against their closest "performance" competitors - more so than the 911.

I would have to drive it first, but just looking at &...
