Yeah, glad to finally see the booster styling being done right

m4a1mustang · 06-20-2012, 09:16 AM

I'd almost take the new Boxster S over the 991 just for the fun factor. Nothing beats a drop-top!

If GM can do some handling magic with a lighter platform for the next-gen Camaro? I'll likely be keeping a very close eye on that as my next vehicle.

I'm not much of a GM guy (save for the Corvette) but if they do put it on the smaller, lighter platform and make it look good (inside especially) I'll take a look at it.

I hate how you have to take your eyes FAR off the road to glance at the gauges in a Camaro. I know it's nostalgic but still.

Completely agree on the gauges. Nostalgic and all, but worthless. That and the interior is less than exciting overall in the Camaro, not to mention the quality. Not that interior quality is a HUGE selling point to me, but it sure is noticeable...

I can't wait to see what the new Cayman will look like. Of the last gen Porsches, the Cayman looked the best IMO (not counting super exclusive stuff like the GT3). 2013 Cayman is supposed to be revealed in November I think.

I'm saving pennies so I can replace both cars in a little bit...too much fun stuff coming to just pick one

I think I've got some time before I make any moves. There are a few things coming out soon that I have my eye on. Don't want to move too quick.

I just priced a Boxster S on the website. $73k. Motherf*cker.

I don't think the Boxster would be a good DD. Soft top in the winter... meh.

b1adesofcha0s · 06-20-2012, 09:42 AM

I wish I could start saving pennies, I'm still in recovery mode after all this spending

b1adesofcha0s · 06-20-2012, 09:54 AM

I'm also going to be looking hard at the new offerings around 2014. Next gen corvette, mustang, or maybe used GT-R.

That boxster S is so so so

though Steve!

The ZL1 did its best pass in 12.38 seconds at 114.5 mph, while the GT500 turned the quarter-mile in 11.78 seconds at 125 mph. So there you have it, Ford beats Chevy. But like we said, drag racing is about more than time slips.

I think everyone knew that was coming
