VTEEEEC POWA!!!!
Why is this a "ricer forum" because we have a more realistic understanding of the capabilities of the S2000 & Boxster?

I find it funny that you keep posting about the Boxster without ever stating whether you're talking about the base model or the S model. Do you know the difference?

lets settle this once and for all...I got my Boxster S and 5K that says i will smoke any S2000 in a drag race at a local track.

I do not understand why there are so many haters against the Boxster here...

I have had 2 S2000's (AP1 & AP2) and 2 Boxster's (986 & (987S) the new 06 987s will RAPE the other 3 without even trying.

I don't think anyone ever said the S2000 was faster than a Boxster S. But for a long time, the S2000 was faster than the base Boxster, when it had the 2.5L 201hp engine, and even when it had a 227hp 2.7. I think the S2000 and the new 987 are probably more or less even now. But the Boxster S was always at least a half a step quicker than the S2000.

So wait a minute, wait a minute...

We have a 350Z owner coming onto an S2000 board. He respects the S2000, but is unknowledgable about the Porsche Boxter and the S2000 in regards to its performance, and you guys bandwagon him as a troll?

Way to go guys... The elitism on this board ashames me as a fellow S2k owner.

Is your head so far up your ass that you can't tell he tried to lead this into an inflamatory Boxster bashing thread? That's exactly how other boards turn into ricer forums. Dismissing his stupid statement is elitism? Why don't you learn what the word means before using it.

Well, keep in mind that it was steve c that first brought up the "troll" label. Before that, people were being mostly polite in trying to say that No, an S2000 will NOT "rape" a Boxster. (Or, at least a Boxster S of any generation - older versions of the base Boxster are certainly slower though.) In any case, babbagandu1 is either rather ignorant, or a deliberate troll. Considering his reaction when we disagreed with his statement - about how he's happy he didn't get a slow S2000 - I'm leaning towards the troll side of the fence for the moment.

JrodsS2000, you seem rather upset but I don't think you need to be. No S2000 owners are saying an S2000 is faster than a 987 S. Only a visiting 350Z owner. No haters here, mate.
Probably, but who knows. He never took that path until certain members decided to turn up the heat. Seems like a bandwagon effect -- and I just wanted to stick up for the small guys who get flamed, especially when unprovoked. Until someone proves absolutely guilty of trolling (IE: flaming), I like to give the benefit of the doubt.

To me, none of his posts were out of line until he had to defend himself until he got called out as a "troll."

I'm not here for drama - just standing up for etiquettes.
