These things are worth an insane amount of money 2nd hand. Feels like they basically had near zero depreciation lol
jeremyclarkson1 1m ago @JustSomeDude
thats the thing, to the people that do know about this car its extremely desirable

To use Jeremy Clar-
... 😳
...your words Porsche perfected the mid-engine experience on the first try rather than taking generations to improve the 911. It costs less to get a similar year 911 and they're faster lol.
jeremyclarkson1 1m ago @JustSomeDude
it does cost less, but i do still think that THIS gen of boxster was still better balanced then the 991.1 models of the time. it also felt more engaging then a lot of them, not just thanks to the fact that this was manual only, whereas the 991.1 gt models were pdk only

This is false Nordschleife lap time. The true is 7:52.

jeremyclarkson1 1y ago
the original time was 7:52 but some time was taken off due to the speed limits due to the tragic gtr crash that happened in the same year

It's well documented that the 2016 Spyder's lap time at the Nurburgring was 7:47.
