Or you could just buy a 718 Turbo 4 Boxster/Cayman, Drive it, (they are rocket ships and handle phenomenally) and leave the 914 alone.

QUOTE(Olympic 914 @ May 5 2023, 04:31 AM)  Or you could just buy a 718 Turbo 4 Boxster/Cayman, Drive it, (they are rocket ships and handle phenomenally) ^ Truth. The turbo Boxsters and Caymans will get off a corner unlike any of the NA flat sixes, and give the driver options other than waiting for torque to develop, slowly. Now add that magical Boxster/Cayman balance. I prefer the sound of the flat sixes, but if I didn't have kids and was going to have one sports car to do it all without a lot of hassle (i.e. an autox and track day car that could be driven daily or cross country when needed), a 718 would be top of list. |
