How does that make sense?

Thats like saying, "Well thats cuz you like going to the beach and I like to eat ice cream"

I would do one of these:
Porsche > GM

but its not even close to a comparison

Not fanboi..owner

The bad thing is..if I really really wanted to I could buy a Boxster with a blown engine and drop the one we have here into it..thus..a Boxster (S of course for suspension work) with a GT2 motor, but I'm not wanting to waste my precious on that body.

Watch it..I'm already hearing scary things about turbo Caymans.......

THE CAYmans are pretty bad ass

i like the boxter S alot because its pretty redgid for a convertable and has a better engine then a boxter.

i feel if i got a regular boxter id feel like a pussy for not getting a boxter S and about the 911's i mean if i had a 911 i would be wanting for the turbo. there is always bigger and better.

know what i mean?

ive had cavaliers, and now a ion redline. my rl is by far the coolest but id love to own a Boxter S.

my dad expressed interst in a sky, hes an auto guy so i told him the regular one with auto prob is pretty slow. then he said "nah id get a 5 speed in that car" nice! so i may have a sky in the family.

The Cayman is not slow it was road tested at a 13.2@106mph i don't think a Sky would be running all over that anytime soon.

I agree, the Sky RL's (260 hp, 260 lb-ft) 13.9 @ 100mph comes up a little short. But with the Cayman S (295 hp, 250 lb-ft) starting at $58,900 and the Sky RL at $27,895, I think you could use the $31K difference in mods and be able to shave off more than .7 sec.

Heck, the cost of the Mallett 400 hp 400 lb-ft GM LS2 package is only $22K and you'd still have $9K left over.

Umm yeah. The things I could do in mods with an extra $31K. Oh the sticker I could buy.
