So what are you asking? You sound as if a mafioso is going to kill you if you don't get all the facts by 5 pm this evening.

My opinion is that it's a fun, sporty, and fast little entry level Porsche. But there are cars that are even more fun, fast, and sporty for less money.

The standard model needs more power.

If all else fails, SCREAM!

This should be in the Porsche forum should'nt it?

yes

tell by the end of the day or else.

just the same, the regular boxster is plenty fast, the S is more flexible, it has more well rounded torque, wheras the regular boxster, while still quick, has be be revved hard.

hanlding is amazing, steering is phenomenally poor, the interior is flawless, ergonomcis and seating are without repraoch.

the exahust note is increible, i love mine. I bought it over a number of other, M roadster, SLK32, vette, carrera even. it's a great car.

Upgrade to a 993 or 996? The 928 is really a different class of car when you take into consideration it's a front mounted V8. I hardly think it's outdated, or beneath a 911. There is a lot of life in those cars.

just a different type of car. you can't expect 911 and 928 people to neccesarily see the beneifts of each others cars. I think 928 is great and has a lot of tuning room, but the 911 is a naturally better layout.

Rear engine a naturally better layout than front engine? Do you mean just in the context of Porsche? Please explain.
