I have 4 kids and I'm not sure what you mean. Isn't that what the wife's minivan is for? you don't need two cars that can fit all the kids. . . .

Supposing that I might one day have the disposable income required to assume ownership of this exciting vehicle, I believe that I, too, would stuggle with the impracticality of the Red Line Sky. Part of the appeal to me of the Ion was having a sporty vehicle that I could use in all sitiuations(going with 3 friends, weekends trips, camping, moving, transporting harware, etc.). I think that it would be difficult to perform all the aforementioned activities with the Sky, but I imagine that the open top experience makes it all worth it, especially if you have another vehicle.

At least I can bring my son with me! (Although I suppose for optimal performance vs. weight, my wife should just take him and leave me with the Vibe/future minivan or crossover).

SKY Red Line > Boxster S

+1 Alpha actually hit this one on the head..

(Boxster S with an engine swap > SKY Red Line :P )

When I had my older 911 I was still greeted with more respect at PCA events than Boxster owners... Even my 944 turbo gets more respect..

Mallet Sky > Boxter.... hehe...

I think we get the point though... anything with an engine swap better be bad ass, or you're a fool for swapping it...

I'd still take a Boxster with a GT2 engine swap over a Mallet Sky....

I think it would be a driver's race...the newly upgraded and modified boxter's are so much nicer and better than the last ones but the new ones are 0-60 in 5.2 and the SKY RL is 5.5.

Or you could just get a GT2, lol


If it was a 911 or a Sky definatley 911 (I love porsches, a used carrera 4s cabriolet is gonna be my next ride)

but the Sky is sexy as hell and the Redline version is tempting as hell

[vandy0419]

Screw it...I want to find the new Porsche Cayman...the tiptronic s only goes 0-60 in 5.8, humilate a new owner of it with a Saturn would be awesome...the manual is in 5.1 and I don't think thats too do-able right now.
