Here's the problem with a Boxer... As great as it looks, it drives so-so. Like the Daytona, the looks are better than the driving experience. I pondered this a long time ago and decided to buy a TR instead. The TR appears larger but it is in fact lighter, makes more power, handles better, is more comfortable, has decent A/C, is faster point-to-point, can actually carry luggage and be used on weekend trips and has better visibility. All the little details that make a car enjoyable to drive are much better on the TR.

Yet, the boxer is better looking...

patently incorrect. I have owned my full eurospec boxer for over 11 years and have been to hendrick motorsports race shop and weighed the car next to a tr...my boxer was approx. 200lbs lighter. fact. bb is skinned in aluminum where the tr is steel. that has some bearing.
