Why would someone race prep an underpowered convertable? (It's a rhetorical question, I know people do crazy things)

I just hate the car, I don't like the way it sounds, it doesn't make enough power, it handles "ok", the brakes are fine, it's ugly as sin, owners think they are awesome because they drive a Porsche, a clutch that feels nothing like the 911, sloppy gear box compared to the 911 (I'm not talking 911 turbo either, I am talking your standard run of the mill Carrera 4S), did I mention it's slow?, and a pretty crappy interior to boot.
Handles ok? You've obviously never driven a newer Boxster S.

They actually made good track cars, and had good power compared to the competition, I would probbably buy another one.

I dont like the Boxster either, but I wouldnt go as far to call it a hunk of ****. Ive driven a few boxsters and yea they are slower than a 911, but they handle fine, look fine, brakes are fine, gearbox is fine (I dont like the feel on any of the porsches), its a fine car. Would I buy one?? Absolutely not, because I feel its a car for people with a midlife crisis who want a porsche but cant afford one, but as far as sports cars go, its just fine.

That's not the point. Beauty isn't a question, the car has it. Performance it does not.

I hate 240sx's, 180sil, etc and the owners that buy these overpriced rusted out ****box's and swear that that they will make them nice with no kind of a budget in mind refusing to accept the fact that doing it the right way will cost way more than what they want to spend

Small women in big SUVs. I think there should be a law where you cant get an SUV past a certain size unless you can PROVE you really need it. **** the Excursion, its useless

toyota prius....

i take offense to the honda comments haha, no just kidding, i cant stand most honda drivers... with their riced out civics that think they are fast. I/H/E does not make a civic fast... stupid ricers

The new NSX should be an amazing car, unless Honda again decides to under power their supercar... which is probable.

i would have to say anything american built after 1990...i work at the auto-auction and everything i get in basically feels like a plastic piece of crap...even the hondas and toyotas i drive that are mostly plastic now-a-days feel like that have way more build quality and all around better value then the crap GM.Ford...etc. has been pumping out, dont mean to offend anybody by saying that but i drive ALOT of cars and thats something ive noticed even back when i was a valet...
