I hope you'll find some empty road in the middle of nowhere, and wring the engine out in 2nd gear. It's supposed to be orgasmic. |
It's a PDK and I still find the gearing a bit tall, it's not bad but another 3-5% shorter would be great. It's a great box but I still prefer the engagement of a manual.
I'm swinging up to Whistler tomorrow then out to Princeton via #7 and #3 on Wednesday so I'll wind it out a bit. It sounds fantastic in the city so far. The auto start-stop is kinda hilarious cause the motor doesn't quietly wake up ever.
FWIW, I suspect the only Boxster in the Porsche Drive fleet right now is the GTS 4.0 so it's their best deal going on (only 4600kms too) - ~$400/day vs ~$700/day for a 911. It's spec'd pretty nice - all the performance stuff other than ceramic brakes are there.
