Your car is one of the better looking Porsches on this forum....and the interior is the icing on the cake.

What a shame it won't be around much longer as the motor should be exploding any day now. FYI, it's true, I just read it in a thread
I hate it when the bore goes oval, thats what I read anyway.

More exterior shots, please.

My first Pcar was a 98 Metallic Black Boxster.

its called violetchromaflair, leave it to the Germans to name such a color

How comfortable are those seats?

I'm sure they're nice and "snug", but how are they on a long trip? Do they have they same amount of cushion as the stock seats?

I take long trips in my car, and have driven literally across the country several times, and have found that my stock seats are rather comfortable and non-fatiguing, but of course would love to have some "cooler" seats such as these - but only if they are comfortable to sit in for extended periods.

Im only 5'6" so Im comfortable in them... Ive taken a 6 hr trip in them and not felt overly tired... but they are not as comfortable as the stocks. I would sit in them before I buy, Getting in and out is def more of a struggle than the stockers and the fixed shell will limit rear access. They have less cushion but you can easily put more plush foaming to replace the thin ones.

RR - stunning

We need an in-depth thread about the Vortech too, or did I miss it? I could use a good boosted thread.
