[QUOTE=Colorado C6;1584214136]Let me respond to several of you.

V26278 My Porsche is shipping from a port in Germany today. It's not in the shop.

drmustang Just read the reviews regarding the Boxster and Caynman. They speak for themselves and for the car and me. We don't know how the C6.5 will pan out yet. One thing for sure it's ugly with all the vents glued on the

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.

Here is a link to the Rennlist forum where Porsche guys are discussing the C7. The thread has 1054 posts and counting. There is genuine enthusiasm for the C7 Z51.

[QUOTE=C5-JIM;1584215877]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.

Now you've done it. Bob's "first" passion is for trains. Wrecking them like that is sure to **** him off.

They made me do it! I'm innocent of any crimes!

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.

Renntechs a great site...

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!

I see the jerks are back.

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.

Shocking..., you founds the posts you were looking for. You did notice a fair amount of praise for the C7.5 didn't you?

punky

The C7 obviously doesn't need a Doublecumeister transmission or whatever its called to absolutely destroy your Boxster to the point where it flatly laughable. You wouldn't keep coming back with different versions of denial if that fact did not really bother you.

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.

Are the folks there upset the C7 (standard version) is faster at VIR than any Porsche tested there? It must be tough when the standard car is faster than the 911S and the previous GT3. When the hi-po versions of the C7 come out, there likely won't be a Porsche that will be able to keep up. That must be hard to take... it doesn't surprise me that folks need to try to pick it apart to help feel better If I just spent $125,000 on a car that couldn't compete with a $56,000 car from a performance perspective, it might make me insecure too and I might take up trolling as a pass time to fill the empty hole in my self esteem too.

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.

SCM_Crash

I don't agree with your statement that they're much better fit and finish. My personal experience with them is that they are no better in build quality than a Corvette. They just happen to wrap things in nicer leather to make it appear this way. They eventually get rattles and creaking noises with age, just like the Corvettes. They still use lots of plastic, just like Corvettes.

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.
