I just wanted to get some opinions from some of the people here. I have heard many people rag on the boxsters. They say they are so slow...shouldn't be called a porsche.....are cheap...etc. Do they really think that the boxster was intended to be a supercar??? They are meant to compete with the Z3's, clk's, and like vehicles. None of these cars are especially fast, but the boxster S is far ahead of it's pack. I have driven most of these cars and can say that for a fact (and I haven't even driven an S, just the base). I am sick of seeing people calling these cars cheap pieces of crap. Sorry, but no they aren't cheap. When I do get one it will make a good dent in my wallet, and I am the type of person this level of car was made for. People who dream of owning a porsche but can't afford a 100K 911. Yes I agree the base models are on the slower side, at least the older ones...but the S is quite fast.

As for those who brag thier asses off about owning a boxster.....
chill out people. You own a fine machine with a fine name. Odds are you own a boxster is because you can't afford a 911. Thats fine and all because will be in the same boat. Just don't act like because you have that shield on your hood that you are so much faster than everyone else. My 95 Mustang GT had beat every boxster I ran against...straight or curved road. I spent some money on it to get up to 400 hp, but just cause it was a 95 doesn't give people with a 2000+ boxster the right to assume they could take it.

I know there will always be people thinking thier car is better than another, but to each his own. YOU like your car and you bought it for a reason. Doesn't mean everyone else has to like it and doesn't mean you are faster than everyone. Also because you have one ride doesn't mean you should go ragging on someone elses. I used to be like that when I had my mustang. It didn't look better than a stock 95gt convertable...but it was a hell of a sleeper. I had embarrassed many people showing off for thier friends or g/f. Now that I had to sell it due to layoffs I drive a 95 cavalier. Yeah its kinda crappy but it is my car and I am proud of it. Even when I do get a boxster or whatever I decide on, I will not rag on others cars. Matter of fact I will most likely keep the cav just to remind me to feel lucky for what I do have, and not be an ass to those who don't. Be proud of what you own, but don't look down on others for what they have. Everyone should show respect to others no matter what they drive. Everyone should just enjoy the performance and love the drive!!!!!!

Please leave thoughts cause I would like to know what others think.
