    Why? You can't see the engine in a Boxster anyway. Just use your imagination.

    wonder how long it will take them to notice they posted a picture of the engine bay in the rx8 they are selling, in the boxster ad? my bet is they will never notice it. lol

    "Oh crap - boss, we don't have any underhood photos of this Porsche here." "Ok kid, just go take some on your lunch break."

    later on... "What the... How the hell do I... oh, well this one next to it is a sports car too, will he really notice?"

    Supercharged too. Maybie they've gone dual-engined as well. Funny how a simple posting error can trigger a wet dream!

    They obviously changed the picture when I got to it. Actually seems like a pretty good price for an S.

    Not to thread jack but Boxsters have gotten extremely affordable. Almost to the point of obtaining a clean 944 for more than challenge money would be a waste...

    Um..yeah, that pic on the bottom left is a standard RX8 engine compartment w/CAI. Doesn't belong in the batch. 3rd row down, 3rd from the left is the Boxter nose. Listing also states 3.2L 6-cyl supercharged.
    Blasphemy...false advertisement.
