I tore a boxster a new one the other day. Have yet to run into a Boxster S tho.

On previous gen boxsters, it's do-able. . . especially if they have the Slushtronic tranny.

Boxster S's on the other hand. . . well, you better have gears.

True.dat

That said, you may want to check the rear vents and wheels on the Boxster S. The current gen will still give a good shakedown on an S with gears.

Asura wants me to buy a Boxster. . . he wants to try a 996 drop-in.

Without suspension mods, I'd not have one - even the BoxsterS rolls like a boat. There's a reason why the s2k's still beat even the BoxsterS at autocrosses

I can put up with it. . . if it had a 996 motor dropped in.

Even then, my great claim to fame was showing up to the corporate track day, and lapping a Carrera in my Jetta.
