I forgot what it was like to be so close to the road, so low to the ground. I practically fell into it for my test drive!
As for comparison to the previous Boxsters and Cayman S, this one, a 987.2?, seems more powerful than any that I've driven, if that is possible (of course it is less powerful than the S). It could be because it has been a few years. It strikes me as louder? Perhaps for the same reason.
One thing that strikes me as strange, unrelated to the car itself, is that I find myself downshifting more than I used to. I guess because it's fun. It's a mystery! :D[/quote]
Well, I can see just excited you are, posting in stereo, no less. ;)
No mystery at all about the downshifting and it's TOTALLY related to the car. You're just keeping it in the optimal power band, which keeps the orchestra happier and the Symphony in Flat Six sounding better, resulting in an even bigger [b][size=x-large]Permagin[/size][/b] (:D
Let's face it, you were just born to be a Porsche driver. B)
Good to see you back.
