Porsche's are made to be driven. They can handle hundreds of thousands of miles. Ferrari's and lamborghini's are made to be garage queens. You have to service them every 10k miles at a cost thats more than a new honda civic each time.

Porsche's are made to be everyday supercars that are practical and less expensive then your everday Ferrari that will also cost a arm and a leg to fix anything on.

the S isnt bad.. its very moddable and cant get rediculous hp..

its on the same chassis as the carrera and handle just as good.. boxter is a great car, just the entry level for porsche, so offcourse its not as good as the other ones..

EDIT: I quote to fast for you!!

Everyone that knows Porsche and their history, knows that the "poor man's Porsche" is the 914. Not the Boxster. Later, QD.

I just am not a fan of the convertible. The cayman is pretty much a hard top boxster, and I would drive the hell out of it.

Of the early 70's yes, then the 924 and 944 in the 80's was the "poor mans" Porsche :tongue: In the 90's+ it was the Boxster. At least the lowest end Porsche today still has the engine in the back ;)

Let's try to clean this up, shall we?:

I reached the reporting limit of my speedometer yet I continued to accelerate. Didn't I tell you about that race?

STIs are for 5 foot tall kids who wear their baseball caps backwards.
