  1. the boxster beats the bmw anyday. mid engine is the key to handling.

  2. I think that even a small vehicle would weigh at least 1500 lbs., a lot of weight for the back of that boat.

  4. Z4 is exactly 50/50 weight distribution.

    However, these are NOT race cars, but everyday pleasure driving sportscars. And if mid-engine was truly the big factor in handling, why then was the Carrera not a designed as a mid engine car?

    We are only left with the Boxster and the ever exotic Toyota MR2.

    Oh, and I almost forgot, Nitro's soon to be aquired Ferrari Enzo. :) But, a bit pricey.

    You are most likely correct. Bob thinks it will work, but I have my reservations, especially since my bed is under the back deck!

    I have an electric folding bike. I like that the best. No smell and no noise. And I get exercise to boot.

  9. well, I wouldnt go for the Boxster or the Z4, I would go with the Infiniti G35 sports coupe with a 6 speed transmission...With all the perks that car can probably be purchased around 34-35k and it has plenty of performance and is a 2+2...Basically the Nissan 350Z with a few more comfort creatures...0-60 around 6.0 seconds...

  10. Anyone who has actually driven these cars (no, looking at pictures is not driving them) knows that they all feel different.

    Porsche has a feel, the way the seat is positioned, the way the pedals are laid out, steering wheel, etc.

    Same with all great sports cars.

    People tend to gravitate to what "feels" the best. The way their own individual body fits with the car. That is why there typically is such loyalty to brand. Personally, I don't like the feel of a Porsche--never have, but this is not to say it is a bad sports car.

    A car may drive well, but not feel right to the body.

    We all have different shapes, proportions, etc.

    The best car is the one that fits the driver the best, not the one with the most HP or fastest 0 to 60 time. Let's face it, they are all faster than we need, corner better than we need, etc.

    Drive them all, and you will understand what I am talking about. It is a personal choice.

    Same with blonds, brunettes, or redheads. Which is really better in bed?
