I want to make it very clear that my SPBOX was not my wife's car,....it was my mom's.

It was heading into a direction I didn't want, which was to pick out and seriously criticize a driver. I just wanted to get some blood flowing in Spec Box, a group I made clear this winter (when I hoped to join them) was going to be great competition, and that has proven to be true. Sometimes i'm easy to read between the lines, sometimes I guess i'm not... Regardless Mike I. has a pronounced feminine side that I think the Boxster brings out beautifully..

interesting...... out west we see a few SPBOX racers...& their times are just a bit ahead of say a SM....but far better than an specE30...but not as fast as the spec911........
so 2650lbs and around 170whp or 15.6 whp/lb...I'd say they get around pretty decent....
Why do 911's guys ALWAYS take shots at every other non 911 P car..... it must be something to do with hanging on to an outdated design....

I've driven (or at least sampled) pretty much everything one step from ground effects Atlantics of the early '80's to Showroom Stock cars; oddly the 911s from various generations are what I keep coming back to. My criteria when I was 18 was to find a more-than-four-cylinder car that weighed as little as possible that was "affordable." The choices were a 911, 914-6, or 240Z. Funny how 30 years later, with all the technology out there, the 911 shines. Even if your underlying chassis is from the late '60's.
I'd love to add a Boxster to the stable, but I cannot justify more than $5K toward a 10+ year old car like that, of typical mileage that has a finite life expectancy from a non-repairable (for all intents) engine.

We do? By that measure, anything not mid-engine, rear-drive (likely AWD) is outdated.

Actually all of the car you mention are still solid "sports" cars...any of them can be very fast with the right application of $$$$
I would like to drive a spec911 one day....it should be interesting to experience the "handling" of a 911 to compare with front engine-rear drive platforms I am used too....

You CA dudes and your $100K Spec 911's make me want to vomit. All your doing is pumping $ into the guys that sell you your $50K motors. If you want to spend $100K buy a damn real Cup car and be done with it. We have "Spec911" out here too, its called GT class. I had a beautiful fairly stock 930 and that's where it would have been placed, just needed another $30K to make it competitive.
There, that should get the ball rolling.. I just want to show I can insult any class, just not SPBox.
And someday I hope to burn Soy oil and have my car fart violets.. " I wish all Boxster boys could be California girls"... (sung to the Beach Boys.. ahh fuget it).
