New Boxster owner saying hello!

I've owned several used Porsche's but this is my first new one.

Not an "S" but a great car in it's own right.

Nice car and color. Congrats. That looks like Porsche of West Houston in the background.

The painted roll bar looks killer in white. I really like that. When I ordered mine in Guards Red, I went with the painted roll bar, I hope it looks as nice as yours does.


Very nice.

Thanks all!

The Vette to the right of the Boxster is what I traded in.

I know you've only had the Boxster for a short time but how do you like it in comparison to the vette?

A new C7 was one of my other choices but I'm kind of vetted out right now and have always loved the driving ability a Porsche allows me as a semi track junkie. I'm hoping the 981 really shines at the track and as a daily driver.

Thoughts?

Thanks,

Mark

Well there is no comparing 460hp LS3 to the 265hp 2.7...... lol

But other than that.... it's a fun ride. Great handling, braking and will still be a great track toy. And this will be a car that my wife can enjoy from time to time too.

But where the Porsche blows the Vette away is in fit, finish, interior quality, tech and overall appeal.
