People often get mistaken between 0-60 and 0-62. Most manufacturers use the 0-62, but most magazines use 0-60. If the magazine does not fully test the car they show manufacturers figures as default.
IIRC a real 62mph can only be achieved in 3rd gear, so a 0-60 in the S2000 is easily achievable in 2nd in 6 secs or a little under i.e the 5.6 that Autocar managed. A 0-62 requires a gearchange and delays the times slightly. I might be wrong though!

By the time I finish updating my car I would expect a 0-60 in less than 5s.

while you two moles are being attentive answer me this.. pick the one thing that stands out most as better on your Boxster.
if you say 'its got a lovely clock' be aware you may get

Straight line difference with the S2000 is still small. For me the Boxster S has the edge in overall ability but the S2000 is a tad more exciting to drive.
S2000 still rules when it comes to value for money.
Both fantastic cars.

What do you reckon your 0-100 will be Steven?
Lack of balls on his part methinks.

Boxster drivers only ever go fast round corners on track. - unless they owned an S2000 previously
Hang on though, they never go on track either, so........
