Those 20" wheels really fill up the wells. Car looks really low, particularly in that last shot, which is really a great photo. No wonder you took the long way home. Seems like a perfect Boxster day.[/quote]
CURVEN8R 2 has the Sports Suspension which lowers the car by 20mm (about 3/4"). ) . It's amazing how compliant the ride is on rough roads with the lowered suspension and 20" wheels. The Sports Plus seats really hug you in the corners and they're really comfortable too. My wife loved them the first time she sat in them.
Yup. It was a perfect Boxster day. Took it along some nice 2 lane roads with stops, slow down for little towns, some curves and of course some faster sections. :D IMO the best type of roads to break in a new car - vary the engine speeds and a chance to do some shifting.
Speaking of shifting. I find the shift throws about 1/2 between my 987 stock shifter and the B&M short shift I installed. Right from the first shift, I noticed just how smooth the new shifter is. Just have to get used to it sitting up a bit higher than in the 987.
