As you said, Roger, there's no other car that I've driven that makes me feel at one with the car the way the Boxster does. I never feel like I'm having to muscle the car through the twisty roads. We just dance through the curves together. The Zen of driving.

Hey Guenter, sounds like you have never driven a Cayman S. I believe mine was born yesterday or today. Should be at the dealer in 30 days. Just starting to get really excited to drive a Porsche with the engine in the correct place.

Harvey,
If you are who I think you are - you were in the DC area and moved to Florida, right? Didn't you go from a Boxster to the dark side? Now back to mid-engine (Cayman S). Congrats on the new baby, but please let us know why the change of heart.

people like the sport chrono for the track. It simply re-maps the throttle response, and adds a timer, right?

Will Harvey reconsider his purchase? Boxster GTS Coupe vs 2003 GT3 Guenter in Ontario - Thursday, 10 July, 2014, at 2:06:03 pm |

I was considering the GTS; but, I was not interested in some options which I could not opt out of: 20" wheels, leather interior, and PASM. My actual car came in about $8K less than the GTS. I'm very sure Pedro will find the extra 15hp for a lot less than the price of the GTS. That's a lot of track tires and brakes for the difference. But then again, it's the driver that will make it go faster, sometimes not the hp.
BTW: I'm following you with the GT Silver exterior.
