Drove the car down to Columbus yesterday and opened it up a bit on the way home--wow, after 5 months of not driving it, the Boxster feels like a new car.
After driving the Mustang for 5 months, the difference in power and noise is amazing: the BS has great throttle response even with small inputs and the stock exhaust is amazing. Different cars for sure--weight/gearing especially--but the exhaust note in the Boxster stirs the emotions the way that just can't be duplicated with a turbo 4.
Looks like the weather is finally turning in our way, Guenter--sun and warmer temps for the next few weeks.
