Help me please, I think I'm falling in love with a Boxster!!!

Louis J. · 11-05-2009, 07:46 PM

I bought a Boxster S on impulse about five years ago and sold it after only six months. I thought I would never, ever consider owning one again (fun car, just not my style) but after seen this, I may just have to eat my words...

2,800lbs, 320HP (20-30+ with software?) 7,200 RPM redline, LSD, PCCB, buckets...all for $60k. Huge step in the right direction and it totally makes up for the Pana IMO.

My heart is racing and I'm feeling tingly inside. I never thought I would love another...this is just crazy.

Not bad at all.

Louis J. · 11-05-2009, 08:49 PM

I hear ya guys but being that I'm sans p-car right now, this thing is luring me to the dark side. No radio, no air, alu doors with RS-type door panels, no roof (low CG), this Boxster is more stripped than the RS and apparently gets down to ~2,735lbs with PCCBs. I love aircooled Porsches but this thing is a giant step back to Porsche's roots and I dig...a lot.

8.5lbs/HP

Maybe they are finally realizing there are the people that liked Porsche the old way and that they have all but left them behind. Although wait till the price comes out and it is crack smoke like that 997 with the $100K ducktail.......

Ditto. Basic, light, small, powerful-enough, agile, unpretentious...just a fun, tossable car and priced right.

Base price has been confirmed at $61k.

Matt Lane · 11-05-2009, 09:05 PM

I think I read a base price of 61 USD? Not too bad...

Then I think how much more I'd like my 993 if I have 30K to drop into it!

think about this... until the feeling goes away.

Scweet!

I love the looks of this thing with the top down, but at PCA DEs around here, they make you drive with the top up - and that top looks, well, bad.
