IDEA! TPC Turbo Boxster Spyder!

TS,

Just sitting here dreaming of my next Porsche (hopefully next spring) and was thinking about how insane a TPC Turbo Boxster Spyder would be.

White over black...black wheels....PSS10's....LWFW + Clutch setup.......and...(wait for it).....the PDK Paddle shift setup

Thoughts???

"Impossible is nothing"

Its going to be a crazy setup, reminds me of those highly modified exige s lotus with turbo or s/c kit

They've already ordered the car, afaik. Not sure about it being a PDK though.

Not a PDK and the sum bitch should be here next week if it ever gets out of port hold Going to be an awesome build. We are going to document it on Kilometer Magazine: for enthusiasts of European cars and motorcycles

note: white on black with silver wheels

Casey

Casey, that is awesome man. Figure out all the ins and outs of the project and then by the time i get my PDK/Black-wheeled twin to your car you will be all ready to roll

Yea, love the GT3...love the RS...but something about a vert....really loved my S2000. Lightweight/drop top....and i love my Cayman S. So perhaps a Boxster Spyder would be the best of both worlds?

My 997S was VERY close to a GT3 anyways so i sorta know how they behave. I dont track either so thats not an issue. I just like cool/fun cars for the street.

We shall see!!

Having had two Boxsters and two Turbos and tons of seat time in the other offerings, I have to say . . .the Boxster and Cayman are far more a joy to drive in the sense of road feel than are the 911 models. The 911 is an example of a bad idea engineered to near perfection, whereas the Boxster and Cayman (and CGT) are about as close to a perfect blank sheet of paper as you'll find.
