Very envious. I had a V10 Plus briefly in 2014, and it was a lovely thing.

Engine is really nice, but does feel like its restricted
Sports exhaust just isn't loud or spicey enough
Front end just feels a little disconnected
On a cruise with the roof up its very well insulated
No issue with the autobox

Boxster GTS feels more go-kart like, more agile.

Neither perfect, but for A/B fun I would have the Boxster, but for daily and fun etc I'd have the R8.

Thanks guys. @jay gonna get a Larini exhaust on it.

Awesome mate. Once you drive it you feel like they have restricted or silenced it a lot. Did you go hard top or soft?

Coupe. I tested a Spyder and whilst it sounded awesome, it didn't corner well. Coupe is much more rigid.


Edit: just reserved a 2014 R8 V10 Plus in Nogaro Blue

Good luck.

I’ve just sold my Boxster. I’m really going to miss it.

Dropped a car off at Ashgoods and your old Gts was there. Didnt realise you traded it ?

Yup, Mike gave me close to what I paid for it. I'd already reserved a V10 plus so wanted it out the door.

Shame because I was selling it for 46k and they've listed it for 50k. Someone could've got a good deal.

Yeah they did say what they got it for. I always like having a coffee and a chat with them.
