Driving the new Porsche compared to the older style is much like driving a C6 compared to a C5 to a C4 Corvette.
Obviously more powerful, better handling and definitely smoother. I can't explain how smooth this car is in the turns.
It's only 315HP which is not overly exciting but with a 4.8 0-60 and a top speed of 174mph, it'll get for an aspirated 6 cyl.
I've always wanted a Porsche because to me, it's a driver's car built by drivers. It's ergonomically correct, it's smooth, everything fits, the clutch is fantastic.... and since I wanted a convertible, that left me with either spending 140-160K for a 911 convertible or 80K for a Boxster. I've always liked everything about a Boxster but the body style. It was entirely too feminine for me. (no offense to those that have one)
Anyway, love the car, can't wait to hit the track with it.
