Hi i'm bak now, thanks guys for jacking the post.

My dad is a driving instructor. It is a factory exhaust system and manifold, but its designed by sebring, and gives hefty torque gains so i believe

Yeah it sounds like the Silverstone edition, 20" wheels etc, I thought there were more than 60 tho?

I'd prefer a Gt3, but i think it is slightly out of his price range

Ive driven a 2.5 Boxer, it was a bit slower than Id expected but I had just got off an Aprilla RSV1000R so anything would have seemed slow.
Seriously tho, it didnt seem quick till 5000rpm, below that it felt like a 2.0 family saloon! The handling was sweet and the brakes were really good till they overheated and started fading, but Im told thats not normal, its just coz there wasnt much left on them.

Quite embarrising thought is the fact I got beat from the lights by a Starlet GT. I wasnt paying attention and the wee sh1te with baseball cap got infront. I basted past him on the mway back home. He was stuck at 112mph while I went past at 130.

Id love a run in a 3.2 S.
Nice car mae

His one is the newer 2.7 Horizontaly opposed engine (boxer) they made LOTS of improvements to the car when they changed the standard 2.5 Boxster to a 2.7, including brakes.

I've been in a 3.2 S, and my Dad's feels more torquey, doubt it is, just feels like it
