Default 981 Boxster

What do you folks think of a 13 Boxster S with PASM or X73, PTV, PDK and sport chrono + for SS. I went to the dealer today to see what I fit. Boy it sucks to be tall sometimes. I have more leg room, plus with the top down I have helmet room. I would think that a 981 might be be better than my 997. What kind of negative camber can you get and can you put on 18" wheels and clear the brakes?

I built that car so many times on the configurator because I knew they would never exist in real life, but could never justify the cost. If you found one used, BUY IT! It may never be "the car to have" vs GT3s C7s, but I don't think you'll be very far back.

You are wrong that they are not out there. They are called lunch cars. It's the PTV that is harder to find. I wonder if you can add PTV and how much money. I'm sure it's not cheap. I'm just starting to look at this, but I might just put my car up for sale. I just hate to give up my adaptive sport seats as I think they are the best seats that I have ever owned.

Buying the X73 from Suncoast is also an option.http://suncoastparts.com/product/981SSK.html
At $1550.00 that is not bad.

I think the word was "launch", not "lunch"
