It's been almost two weeks, and no comments on your experience?

But but... the Boxster is slow and cheap and crappy with an ugly interior and you can't tell which direction it's facing.

Also, raw times in the Boxster were over 2 seconds faster than in the M3. That's pretty compelling.

And those raw times were beaten by JV in a 15 yr old car that maybe makes 160 hp.
