Exactly...... real world the old Boxster S was very close to the S2000 if a tad quicker. The new 2.7 Boxster should be neck and neck while the 3.2S is a fair chunk quicker

If only manufacturers would give you the proper figures that can be achieved.

What the new 3.2? or the old one? The old Box S is only a tiny bit quicker than the S2000 but the new one is a fair bit faster....... however in a straight line it may not be very obvious?

Your 0-100mph video in your sig shows it can be done you seem to hit 60/62 in around 6.2 seconds as far as I can tell and that was with a very good clutch dump by the look of it to get close to most manufacturers figures you have to be very rough with the car.
