14 base Boxster to 14 FRS..very happy
 

All,

I recently acquired FRS since my new Boxster was rear ended. The Boxster is an extremely slow car compare to the FRS. I should have purchase the S model instead of the base if I have to do it again but I am happy with my FRS for the tuning options.
It's seem much quicker now with pulley, OFT, intake and OFH..
I have an eye on the Bently GT convertible for a year or two now but still undecided yet.

Troll? Troll.

Nope don't think so!
History of posts is clean!!!!!

I can see cross-shopping a BRZ and base Boxster. I can't see cross-shopping a BRZ, base Boxster and a Bentley Continental GT convertible.

If you have multiple luxury vehicles than name won't matters... It's all about enjoyment...On the other hands, my co-worker thinking I am crazy for the Scion purchased over another Porsche but that's just me. I still have my Porsche SUV...
The Bentley is next on the list...

Well it would only be what...$150,000/180,000 difference in price than an FRS.
Well maybe THAT line is a tad trollish!


OH not trollish just pompous!

Bad English too! A Bentley would be shot down on this forum for sure. NOT sporty.

Porsche Boxster base 0-60 approx 5.5s. OP says it's slow but the FR-S is rated at 7.2s.

I clocked mine faster BEFORE OFT. Now its slower but that could be traction loss on stock tires after 30K km. Not complaining though, overall better response across power band.

I was bored...

How DARE you imply he was looking at used!!!!!!!


Jag XK Convert for $54K. God I live in the wrong country!

Yes, it's about 85k for a used Bentley...

not entirely serious but kinda serious.

I had a Boxster S and it was WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY faster than my FR-S

ditto. Dunno about the regular boxster but the S blew the FRS away (not chipped either). I can't imagine the base boxster being that many orders of magnitude slower. My SLK 55 was waay faster too. Unfortunately the gas money + 80 mile one way commute killed that...

Yeah I don't really understand the Boxster being slower comment either. I had a 2009 Boxster S (310 hp) and it was MUCH faster than the FR-S in a straight line. Even the new 981 base Boxster will be.
