Yup good thing my lease ends in two years and not three...

The car is a joy to drive but still the lack of HP is frustrating somtimes when i wanna feel acceleration it jus doesnt do it for me.

Maybe get a 911 or a cayman club sport in the near future.

Porsches rarely give you the most thrust for your buck. If you want acceleration and can't spring for a turbo, get an Evo or a WRX.

I have a BoxS and a tt, and I was given a 2.7L loaner from the dealer one day. I thought the balance of the car was superb, in terms of weight, handling, engine response. The car delighted me in every way.

no i love my porsche experience too much to quibble on the thrust
but i guess im jsu regretting not waiting 2 monthes and not getting the S.

But dont get me wrong i love this car i never knew windy roads are way more fun then occasionally finding a straight road and no trafic then going fast.

Everyone seems to be looking for more hp out of their boxsters. I am too going down that road. I love the balance and feel of my Boxster S much more than my TT. It just needs about 50 - 75 more hp. More to come.
