I don't think so. maybe walk slowly away.
the new boxsters now will beat an S2000.
well, i don't have an s2000 yet, but i used to own a 350z, and i know for sure that the Z eats the boxster alive, and all of the ppl on the Z forums say that the Z vs the s2000 is a driver's race, so i assumed that this meant that if the S2000 can hang with/ beat the Z then it would have no problem with the boxster.....

It will beat a Boxster, its the Boxster S thats gives us a run for our money.

Now referring to the statement earlier about the Top Gear comparo.... look at my avitar. Who is that and whats he in?

The deciding factor in that comparo was the Stig. Unfortunatly the track was pretty wet, and while all of the other cars came equipped with nanny systems to keep the car going where it was supposed to go, the S did not. I don't need to tell anyone who owns an S2000 how you have to drive in the rain do I?

Now, if it were dry...... Bye Bye Z4 and Boxster.

New base Boxster has the same weight as new S2000.
Base Boxster has same HP, but considerably more TQ, less drivetrain loss, and better Cd to boot.

So please explain to me what are the factors, aside from shorter gearing, that allow an S2000 to decisively "rape" a base Boxster.

Even if an S2000 beats a certain Boxster, I wouldn't call our car (stock) a Boxster killer by any stretch of the imagination. The S/C will def. make it one.

Now who is it that's really making the dumb statement?

I just thought this was dumb since a stock s2k will rape a boxster without even trying...
LOL No it won't. But if you are one of those tools who want's to believe in fantasy in order to make yourself feel better .. go ahead.

Yay 18 day troll for the win!!!!!

Please don't ever post here agin.
