That was a good show, I would take the Z4 any day of the week over the Boxter, especially when it gets the new N54.

Really? I have to say I'm kind of surprised as not too many people would take the Z4 over the Porsche. Why, may I ask?

Because I find the Z4 to be one of the better looking roadsters out there despite having a canvas top, and since it's dynamics is pretty close or on par with the Boxter it makes it a no brainer. That, and I've always reserved a lot of hate for the Boxter, up-side-down bathtub (as many have said) sums up the car nicely. It has a nice interior though.

Great video!
Thanx for sharing.
I'd take the Porsche anyday over that Z4. It just looks better, smoother.

Nice car. Is this yours Luwalira?
I can understand someone not liking the looks of a Porsche as I myself experienced that the looks of a Porsche grew on me. Now I also think it is a gorgeous car. On the other hand, I think most people, myself included, will have an immediate liking to the looks of a Z4, no adjustment period needed.

What a job those guys have! Burning tires all day long on some racetrack.
Lucky guys.

Please don't torture me with those pictures Luw.

No man it's not my car . but hopefully I will own a Porsche before the age of 25.

I though those pictures would make an impact on you.

Oh ok..Having one before 25 sounds good. Also, have not been to Göteborg before so I was wondering if the pictures were from there. Stockholm is one of my favorite cities.

To each his own. I'd take the Porsche based on looks alone, and knowing that it matches the Z4 as far as performance is concerned is just an added bonus. Now I'm not saying the Porsche is the prettiest car in the world but in the right color and with the right wheels (see Luw's pics) it looks magnificent.

My apologies for my prior ambiguity, Porsche would be my choice too.

Boxster would be my choice but if it was Z4M , Boxster would no longer be my choice.
