Gamballa is a Porsche tuning company, check it out:
What you think, i prefer the standard Boxster with 18's and a Sebring exhaust, thats wot my dad's got.
This is a turbo i think putting out lots of BHP

Its not a great car for the money there are plenty quicker and nicer looking cars for that price and the fully Gamballa tuned car is about the same price as a 911 so I know which one I would want

Have to agree with Red_Sxi
It is a superb car for the money, it is highely praised by the motoring press has won numerous awards, best roadster in nearly all car mags. the 3.2 boxster S has got plenty enough performance for most people. beautiful shape, one of the nicest designed cars ever. Cant praise this car enough, drive one then judge it.

Yeah thanks SetH, a quick Question for u all, MY Dad has the 2.7 Boxster (220 Bhp standard) It has a Sebring Full System and manifold, and an uprated air intake, how much BHP do you reckon its got? It feels more Torquey than my next door neighbours Boxster S (250Bhp)

i'd prefer my dads 911 C2S with 18's standard, and standard exhaust... u don't have to modify a 911 to make it good.

yeah but the boxster wasnt brought out to compete with the 911, it was brought out to compete in the roadster market and it has done very well for a number of years now.

I agree its a good car and it it ain't designed to compete with the 911, but I am saying to have a full tuned and that kit etc, cost a forunte and its in the same price bracket then as a 911 and I knwo which one I would want if I am spending that kind of money

Yes i've been in a 911 Carrera 4, and a 911 Turbo (both the most recent shapes) and they are identical inside as a Boxster, build quality is the same. The 911's sound better, and perform better, but that doesn't mean the Boxster is bad. Quite a few people with 911's are p!ssed off about the quality of the boxster cos it costs half as much as their 911 and is nearly as good.

The guy at Leeds Car Audio as an ex-works porsche its been put back on the road after some things done to it i.e. interior put back in and its been re-sprayed back to the standard grey. Full GT2 kit on it with the 18" Gt2 alloys. just under 700bhp and with the proper gearing i.e it can be changed for higher or lower gear ratio's it will pull over 210mph If you ever get the chance to go in ask to have a look at it co it is some thing else and vibrio this porsche is a straight mans car...

most porsche enthusiasts think boxters are crap i think you'll find. Not a 'real' porshce like a 911. ponses versions, hence the S. (had to do something about image.)
