That guy's an idiot.

Get a Porsche Boxter? Um, last I checked a L could spank one of those...

what an article ey

I hate to say it, but the Lightning is actually fun-to-drive (in a sort of macho, kick-*** kind of way).

PRECISELY the point Boxster-boy. I say, what did that logo on the tailgate say? Darn, he's too far ahead. I'll have to discuss this with Chet and the chaps at the Country Club.



At least he gave us a shout out.

 

[Gitchi Manitou]

Bonehead eh?

Even the detractors have a reluctant change of heart when they drive one. Wonder what he thinks now that they won't be building them there anymore.

 

[GOT BOOST?]

20 bucks says he's a tree hugger. Any takers? ;t

I love Boxters. They're great fun to watch get smaller in the rear view on the road course. Especially when you're driving a Mustang with a $200 paint job and no interior that looks like a homeless family sleeps in it. Forget road racing in some high dollar car, driving the beater RULES.

 

[5OH2GO]

Hmmmm... First he says this...


"When accelerating, there are two separate sounds coming from the engine: a deep-throated rumble from the 5.4 litre V8, and a loud whining, grinding sound from the supercharger. I found the whining noise loud and irritating, but it disappears when coasting or cruising on the highway. "


Then this...

"

I think he judged it way too soon before he even drove it, and then once he actually drove it, it kinda "kicked HIM in the a$$!!

Hey, I'm glad he finds that whine "irritating", leaves more for us who appreciate that whine!

This guy a definetly a 'tard

Ford quotes lateral G forces of 0.85g on a 100 feet skidpad - that's equivalent to high-end sports cars like the Corvette.

Uh, maybe a ten year old Corvette. Where did they get this guy? He doesn't seem to know a damm thing about cars.

Take off a.......

You lightning hoser's!!!

 

[Ricky]

Well he started off negative, but gave a pretty good review of it, I think.

On a related note, I still don't understand why Ford doesn't use a rack and pinion steering setup in the trucks.

Boxsters are nice, for geeeeerls. My wife is hinting that she wants one.
Why make sporty trucks?? So we can have kick butt performance, and STILL be able to tow 5000lbs, or pick up that load of manure. Try THAT in a Boxster.

:tu:

I see plenty of Boxsters with manure in them.

Boxter? That's not a real Porsche. Now if it was a Carerra 4s or the Turbo it would be different.
