Wow! What a Car!

I'm borrowing a base Boxster with Tip until the clear bra and radar detector have been installed on my new C2S Cab.

I thought the Boxster Tip was going to be a bad case of a lot of vacuum cleaner like whining with not much in the go department. It's not fast, and the Tip is horrible, but it handles beautifully and makes all the right noises. Maybe all you REALLY need is one of these with a stick shift...

I'm very much impressed. If you own one of these you have every good reason to hold your head up high.

Re: Wow! What a Car!

Good to know, thanks for the insight! Did your dealer provide you with the loaner?

Re: Wow! What a Car!

Hear hear.

I have a 987 2.7 manual and love it more and more every day. I have just taken it to Wales and back from london with my lady for the weekend and it has entertained us both every step of the way....not to mention the kids taking photos from the buses as we overtake.

They, quite possibly, are every Porsche you will ever need!

A friend of mine who is an instructor at the BMW driver's ed courses drives a Boxster and says it is the best track car period.

Many track junkies I know who are excellent drivers claim the same, and routinely blow the 911's out of the water.

There is no doubt that the Boxster really is a "driver's car". It's definitely not a "chick Porsche".

Comments like these really do demonstrate the potential offered by the Cayman S.

Sorry. It was an unsuccessful bad humor.
