I had the same dilemma and ended up choosing the Boxster S. The Vette sounded great and had super acceleration, but the Boxster felt more “alive,” to me. The steering feels perfect and so connected, throttle response, the suspension all felt lighter and more precise. The Vette felt heavier and more awkward to me. I would recommend stepping up to the 2.5L S model, if not the 6 cylinder GTS, the 2.0L didn’t lack In performance but felt a little “thrashy” to me.
I also preferred the cockpit in the Porsche, classic and well laid out. The Vette felt a little gimmicky with the center console, but maybe I’d have gotten used to it.
Just because no one else has mentioned it - the Porsche will save a bunch of money on gas, it’s actually quite economical.
One last thought- I struggled with the idea that the Vette has so much more power. The truth is, either car has more power than you will ever use on public roads. I’d pick the one that you feel best driving
