: Thank you so much for telling everyone here what they should or should not buy. And then contradicting yourself completely. That must not have been easy. Unfortunately, you are not the all-knowing car god you think you are. I am personally offended that you would bestow your naive opinion as fact by saying that the Boxster S is better looking. That is your opinion, and not too many people on this board share it with you. Almost as fast? You've got to be kidding. And the very fact that it is a mid-engine car says that it will have very nuetral handling right up to the limit, and then the car goes balistic. Mid-engine cars are great, but the traditional sports car is front-engine, rear-wheel drive. And spare me the fact that the Z8 is front-mid-engine. The engine is under the hood in front. Two other things, the 911 isn't the best thing since sliced bread, so not everyone wants one like you do. And the E46 M3 has not been released yet, not to mention it will not be nearly as unique as the Z8, nor will there be a convertible for at least another year. You know what....why am I even bothering to reply to this message. It makes no sense. You start out trying to dictate to everyone that they should by a Boxster S, and then go on rambling about the fact that no one should ever buy a convertible because they're too dangerouse to drive fast. Ever heard of roll bars, airbags, or just a driver who might know what they're doing? You probably haven't ever thought that hard. Nothing against the mid-engine cars by the way.

: : How come you guys can't just get a Boxster S.
: : The porsche looks better, almost as fast, and it is a mid engine car. Anyway in a convertible why you need to go that fast, it is the open top driving that we all love. I mean if you want a good handling and fast car, why not get a e46 M3 or 911. Convertibles are very dangerous to drive fast.

I agree with the Ultimate answer above. How can you possibly compare the Z8 with the Boxter S. That is a ridiculous statement. The Z8 is obviously a classic one of a kind car which is built to be an out of class performence car. The Boxter S a great car is not even in the same class. I however, at this time in my life can not afford the Z8. So my 540 6spd will have to do for now...just waiting until that day...
