Default stupid statement from comptech

I was just looking at the Comptech supercharger, and I noticed this retarded statement:

"Included in the kit is everything you'll need to transform your S2000 into a Boxster killer"

I just thought this was dumb since a stock s2k will rape a boxster without even trying...

Don't be so sure. Have you seen the Top Gear comparo? The Boxster is faster in a straight line.

they're about equal or the Boxster is a bit better.

I surely would buy a Boxster if they were priced the same as a S2000 but they're another $10K.

At *least*, closer to another 18k when I was comparing new cars.

Two facts:

1. Drivers, i/h/e, yadda-yadda-yadda aside. The S2000 *could* beat the old Boxster. It had clear difficulties (namely failure to win) with the old Boxster S.

2. Comptech is a performance car parts company. I'm going to take a wild shot in the dark and say that they aren't going to the same great lenghts on their website as they are with, say, their racing propositions.

I don't think so. maybe walk slowly away.
the new boxsters now will beat an S2000.

Any stories you hear of an S2000 putting raw hurt onto a Boxster were based on a S2K versus a Tiptronic.

The fact that this thread wen this direction just seems silly. If there's anything to ponder upon, it's "How often do the guys at Comptech refresh their part listings?"
