Glad to find this community. Currently own an '02 S, and plan to buy a Cayman S next August. I had my car at the dealer (Boardwalk) this week and was given an '05 Boxster for a loaner. First time to drive the '05 model. Quite a difference from my '02 S. Even though there is only 10 hp difference, it is noticeable. The new car feels tighter, which issince my car is 3 years old and Porsche has stiffened the chassis of the '05 models. The exhaust sound is a lot better than the S. I have de-snorked my car so that is primarily what I hear now. The interior is much nicer, but I don't necessarily like it better. But it did give me a taste of what to expect in the Cayman S. I like the Cayman styling much better than the Boxster with the top up. You really can't beat the appearance of the Boxster when the top is down. I guess that 's the point.It's been in the high 90's to over 100 for several weeks so the top has not been down in a while. Wanted to introduce myself to the members and say that likewise, I am eagerly anticipating the arrival of the Cayman S. Regards to all.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination.

Welcome Terry and join the excitement.
Welcome! One point of note the 2003 Boxster S has 258hp from the factory, the 2005 has 280 so a difference of 22 vs. 10, although perhaps you were referring to yours being 10hp less if you've done some mods. Which reminds me I need to put up my photos of de-snorking a 2005 Boxster S as it will directly apply to the Cayman S as well.
Thanks for the welcome. K-Man S, I was specifying the difference in horsepower between my 2002 S and a base 2005 Boxster (250hp vs. 240 hp). Re: the desnorking of the Cayman/2005 Boxster, seems like Porsche has made it much harder than with the previous year models. Cheers.
Ordered my Cayman S from Boardwalk Porsche myself. It should be here January. Lemme know if you wanna take a look./fckeditor/editor/images/smiley/MWPX/thumbsup.gif Any words of advice about Boardwalk? Also, they don't put any dealer decals on the car, do they? Thanks!
Psycho - my experience with Boardwalk has been great. I have purchased two Boxsters from them. They go overboard to make sure you're satisfied. I have dealt with two of the three Service Advisors and they willtreat you right. I worked with Tracy Rabey in sales on both cars. He is a great guy. Who did you buy your car from? And no, they do not put any deealer decals on your car. There will be a Boardwalk license plate from, that's all.
