This is C7 FORUM not a C6.5 fourm or a boxster forum. If you can not call the car a C7 please go somewhere that has a C6.5 forum or go to boxster forum. I for one am tired of the BS that is being spread about a6.5 or a boxter. This is a C7 FORUM.

Now now BO, let's not call people names. Forum rules and all, ya know.
That said, you know what they say about ******, porcupines, and porsches.
At least we're in better shape: we only have to deal with old guys, golds chains, wax, and tail-light shapes. Oops, there I go again.

Yes, have read quite a number of reviews on the Boxster/Cayman. The various publications all seem to have a common thread in their evaluation of these particular vehicles. They all seem to make the point of their significantly underpowered nature and painfull sticker sticker prices. Not a great endorsement at all.
Let me respond to several of you.

You sir have a problem. I have not posted "ad nauseum" about Porsche. Go and find where I did and you will find you are mistaken. The problem with this section is that you cannot say ANYTHING, I will say it again ANYTHING comparing the C7 to another brand without people like you having a fit.
I dig Porsches.....I'm just not stupid enough to yammer on about them on a forum devoted to corvettes...
Surely after the 3rd or 4 th post parading the superior "feel" of the porsche in a corvette c7 forum thread ?....clearly with any rational thought process know the topic diversion would get boo d..
If that's not you then don't sweat it....and for those that continue this ridiculous behavior under the guise of freedom of speech? What can anyone say other than consider reality
If your shocked and appalled maybe you tune into the vag ina channel.

Mkdfw. Thank you for the link to rennlist. You should not have shared that link with the forum. I read quite a bit of the 71 pages. Much discussion about no PDK transmission. Cheap interior. Same switches as in my truck, etc. read posts number 2 and 4 for a starter. Many comments about all the vents and Camaro rear end. Some said car looks like a transformer.
Are you sure you read this thread? And I did not see one cartoon head.

I'm a member there and I respect those with their favored brand...
I consider it common courtesy to respect them so to speak in their house.
I behave that way in person and I do it on interweb forums.
The majority of Porsche loyalists love the new corvette but of course their are diehards that bleed driver feel of Porsches to their last dying breath...
I dig Porsches...and appreciate the owners well deserved enthusiasm on the iconic brand....
I still wouldn't go their and rant ad nauseum about corvettes are superior...
To do that and not expect a typing interweb conflict would be ridiculous...
What would be the value other then a desire for center stage of negative attention.
Maybe mommy didn't breast feed you long enough!

Corvette Forum is most active right now because Chevrolet has introduced the new C6.5 No PDK transmission in their state of the art car. It is natural for folks to post positive and negative comments about the new car. I am simply posting my opinion of the C6.5.
I have lot's of Corvette experience and feel that my comments hold value because of long time ownership of Corvettes dating back to 1975. I have owned a C1, 2 C3's, a C4 and a C6. I have a right to express my opinion.

Give the cutsey little Boxster to your wife and get yourself a mans car that you don't have to constantly make ridiculous excuses for. The C7 is shaping up to be the Porsche worlds worst nightmare.

I guess it's no big deal because you will likely just need it for driveway eye Candy and Sunday drives with the wife

Heath I have to point out a few things. Porsche makes 6 cylinder sports cars that are highly refined automobiles. Are they pricey, yes. Are some of the models not as fast as a fire breathing V8, yes. But are they much better fit and finish products with much better materials, yes.
Why is everyone so hung on this topic? They are both good cars in their own right, by no means are either of them the cats meow.

Working at a Porsche shop for a few years was enough for me to realize how much of the stigma and rumors of Porsche quality was actually myth.
