981 has turn-in oversteer to a surprising degree. Based on the reviews I have read they've tuned that out, but Harris is the only one to date that's mentioned understeer.

That's really brave, good for you. I would store my GT3 over the winter because of concerns over the adjustable suspension. I did drive a Granturismo though three winter seasons but that was a giant...

I run Michelin Alpin rubber on the stock 19" rims with stock sizes. The Boxster is just about drivable in snow and ice. There have been moments when I was almost stuck at the kerb because the car...

I went from a 997.2 GT3 to a 981 Boxster 2.7 PDK. The Boxster is a much better street car in almost every way and much more modern. The 981 Spyder is very desirable and I'm looking forward to driving...

Configure the car the way you really want it in both the base and the S trim then make a decision. I would skip the Bose.

Good for you. Driving is definitely the way to go. I wouldn't worry too much about a perfect clear bra install. You can always have your local crew repeat the job properly later. Write it off as the...

HRE FF15

I bought a set of HRE FF15 as Summer street and track wheels for my Boxster. I'm using factory 19" wheel and tire sizing. I haven't seen any other Boxsters running this combination, so I thought I'd...

My 997.2 GT3 had a ring time of 7:40 so 7:42 out of the new Boxster is amazing. It seems just about believable. With the wider front end, the turn-in performance of the 981 (and the 991) is a lot...

I do love the little sewing machine 2.7 six in my Boxster, but truthfully I spent the money for the chassis. The handling of the 981 platform just blew me away. The last time we had a turbo car it...

My manual says to stay under 4200rpm for the first 2000 miles / 3000 km. I picked the shorter one as my break-in threshold. Just a suggestion.

I agree, which is why I bought a new 981 Boxster for less money instead. If I had seen an R with buckets for that price I would have bought it. Asking prices on the Cayman R just seem to be generally...

sold the GT3, some current Porsche feedback

Hi all. For various (sensible) reasons I decided it was time to move on from my GT3. I've been driving a 997 of some kind since early '08 so I thought one of the newer cars would be a good change....
