The roof on the Boxster RS is a massive PITA. One of the guys I know in TIPEC had one and he hated it. 981 generation is where you need to be for that kind of money. It's just all round better.
If you get all wobbly-lipped about the opinion of Internet strangers, maybe it's time to take a bath with the toaster as you'll never amount to sh1t anyway.

Just like Dunc's old car...although can't remember if his was N/A or S. Either way, that's a great shout.

not a lot of love for the 190 though, even though they look fantastic.

The SC's are quite a bit more expensive, so that lesser demand is largely reflected in the price.

yeah, they’re usually £8-10k more.

There was a Jayemm video about the 190 (elise) that i was referred to during my search which did put me off the 190 engine.

A 190 Elise isn't any faster than a decent spec S1 in a straight line. I had a few laps with a 111R round KNOCKHILL. There was nothing in it. The difference being they have to be revved to get it on cam. the S1 had more torque lower down.
