Wow, that's a nice looking car, Matt. That blue is pretty

Curious to see what you think of the TPC racing kit. I’ve always heard mixed reviews of them, but I think it was mostly on the tuning.

Stunning, Matt. Gorgeous color. A G-body 911 driver who is very talented can only hope to barely keep up with Boxsters. Maybe. Boxster S...no.

Enjoy.

I like the extra punch, I like the supercharger whine, and it basically runs like a standard Boxster. So no complaints. But I also wouldn’t spend $10k on it, for the money I would expect a more pronounced difference. That’s assuming that it’s making full boost, I’ll be checking that at some point just to make sure all is well.

Sorry, couldn't resist :D

That blue is very nice - and with forced induction, too? Score...

Haven’t even checked yet, pretty sure the supercharger kit included a K&N cone filter. I need to pop the lid and do some looking around.

In a move that will surprise exactly nobody, it's going up for sale.:)

I need to stop buying Boxsters. Great cars but not really me.

Wow, if only I had money burning a hole in my pocket and a place to put that. 3.4L? I thought they were 3.2L until somewhere in the 987.1 period, then they got upgraded to 3.4L.

Nice floor!

Crap that’s a typo on my part. The 996 was a 3.4 until 2002 when it was bumped up to a 3.6. Boxster S is a 3.2L.

Beautiful car, Matt.

I've wondered what it would be like to own and drive a Boxster.

Considering none of my 3 Porsches have air conditioning - and I live in Florida - that alone makes the idea attractive.

To get an example as nice as your is at only $15.5K is very very tempting.

But alas....I'm getting ready to re-roof my home so that pretty much trumps everything as far as priorities.

GLWS!

I figured as much

speeder 01-24-2020 06:15 PM

Nice Boxster. Probably not the best time of year to sell one in the midwest, though...

I never had to buy one to know that they're not for me. :cool:

What’s replacing it?
