How is the boxster a chicks car? The thing looks exotic, sexy and gorgeous from every angle. Its like a mini Carrera GT.

The Vette looks overdone, cheap and too mish-mash of chevy cars.

I like my cars to have "beef" on them. the boxster is to small, and doesn't have aggressive styling. sure its a pretty car, its not bad to look at. to me the corvette AND the 911 have aggressive styling to them. not saying better styling, but aggressive key word.

I went with the stingray y'all!! It was a hard choice but the v8 rumble, wide stance and honestly looks more aggressive than the Boxster led me to that decision. I was looking more of a cruiser than a track car, and went with it. You guys are all hilarious in your comments and great too know what stance you all took. Each opinion on beauty is very subjective and its the eye of the beholder on what looks better than others. I will post a pic once the car is in my position...if I dont forget while joyriding in it

Congrats. Funny thing is you got a cruiser and a track car.

I was in the same debate but the fit and finish my Cayman S (Full leather) vs the cheap vinyl and pleather interior put me in the seat of the Porsche.

I do not regret my decision at all!

DieGrüneHölle · 05-07-2015, 10:50 PM

Unless your getting full leather on the Cayman, you are sporting some vinyl on surfaces.

I am not against ripping on the C6 and earlier vette interiors, because they are awful. But the new Stingray full leather interiors are very nice.

So much pleather?

...I almost can't see all the suede and nappa leather.

I do admit, I like the Porsches quality and interior more, but the performance in the Vette, IMO was better

Looks fantastic. Only thing I would do is swap out for Z06 lower grill.

That looks so nice! I didn't know that existed. I hope the mod bug doesn't bite me like it did with the BMW. It all started with the tint. I will do that first and enjoy stock look for a bit. But thanks for the idea haha

+1 recommendation on the Z06 grille swap (see my pics on post one for more).

The grille itself was cheap, and it is DIY, but you do have to remove the front bumper. Took me about 2-3 hours, but worth it IMO (lots of tutorials online, not hard to do, just time consuming).

Enjoy it! Make sure to put the exhaust to "off" in the settings, so it is always loud
