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.

LOL!!! Says the guy who immediately put a keg in the trunk of his Porsche...AND stopped to take a picture! TOO FUNNY!

It's pretty though...I'm not one for foreign cars, but it does look nice for a Boxster. They definitely 'manned them up.'

I agree, the Z06 looks fantastic... the interior however... let's just say that it's not my cup of tea. (quilted, harley skulls, carbon fiber, leather, suede, looks like he couldn't make up his mind in what direction/theme he wanted to take his car towards)

The BMW is tastefully done, I love the supercharger and the interior looks great... nice job!!

I'll bet it's a blast to drive.

LOL, sorry...my bad. Okay, I don't like Jake and his carbon fibre and 50's quilted look..lol.

The car however is hot as shiet. Perfect stance, beaaautiful color. But hey, it's not my car, he's the only one that needs to like it.

Thanks for the response. It may not be your cup of tea but I feel it is very well put together. A combination of leather and suede is commonly used on interiors. The quilted piece is a hand sewn leather diamond stitch drape for the sides of the console and the skulls are the Jake Skulls for Corvette Racing. Carbon Fiber is also used quite often but I didn't want to go with the traditional piano black look, that's why it's silver carbon fiber to change it up a bit. And yes, the M is a blast to drive, like a go cart. Thanks Again!!!

No, not my cup of tea but nonetheless, nicely done... definitely quality work.

We can't please everyone and all you need to please is yourself.

Keep up the good work.
