Our GTS was delivered Friday just in time for a perfect Fall weekend. Just went for an early morning drive, love listening to that flat 6 with the top down.

Dave that looks awesome! I agree, the Boxster is driving bliss. There's no better way to unwind.

Enjoy in good health!

Congrat's!!! That might be the best looking GTS I've seen yet. Beautiful combination. Honestly, it makes the R8 look a little dated and boring.

I love asking for comparisons between cars so I'll ask, how does the new GTS compare to the R8?

Also makes it appear to be smaller.

In actuality, I remember seeing the wheelbase & track measurements between the R8 and the Cayman (also Boxster) are within an inch or two... So, size wise, they're about the same size.

And I fit even better in the 987 than the r8... 981 is much more spacious. I'm 6'4". The r8 is really too small for me. Ofcourse, they need to fit a 5 liter v10 inside that wheelbase!
