why would somebody take a boxster S over a Carrera? The Carrera is pretty much better in every aspect

How about a Boxster with the Turbo motor? Has RUF done that, maybe Gemballa? That would haul ass. Oh wait, why stop their GT2 motor in Boxster? THAT would haul Ass!

How much better does a Carrera perform than a Boxster S. I thought it was only marginally better....I would still rather it though, its a classic 911

Next year it is going to be worse, the new 911 Carrera gets a power boost to 320 bhp and a new face a la Turbo and GT2.

Thanks for the info. I don't like the facelift...it just doesn't look right without the Turbo's vents.

No, no ,no. It isn't worse that the the Carrera is getting upgraded, it is that However posted before me sounded like they were Pro-Boxster S, I was saying that The Carrera will now be raising the bar in Performance. I was implying that thier will now be a greater performance gap between the two Porsches.

i see... im pro fast car
if either one is gonna scare me when i floor it... cool...
and i think it is necessary to broaden the gap...
it really doesnt make sense to buy a carrera if the power is similar...
the carrera is much more of a status symbol though...
its tough to be unique when everyone in los angeles is drivin a boxster...

Carrera is the only way to go. The only reason to get the Boxter is that you dont have the money for a Carrera.
