[QUOTE=chickdr,Sep 25 2007, 07:37 AM] Remember the Boxster has 4 wheel ventillated Bremo's as well.

 

i like how s2000 looks better than boxster. but boxsters got more stuff.

it's the ladder system. boxster s (more stuff) > s2000 (less stuff) > Lotus (nothing).

but for the money, and if you track, s2000 is a great car. if you're big, fat, or whatever, you need to get something bigger than s2000 or lotus, like boxster.

as far as the reliability goes, ask the porsche mechanics and honda mechanics which car they would rather buy.

 

I keep saying Porsche because the Boxster IS a Porsche. I always find it amusing to read the comment "a Boxster is not a real Porsche". What isn't real about it? This is like saying a Civic isn't a real Honda because the S2000 exists. What a rediculous concept. There are many people who buy the Boxster(and now the Cayman) over the more expensive Carrera. Why? Because they weigh less and are the most pure sports cars in the line. The Carrera is more of a GT car unless you go for the GT2/3 version.

As far as I have seen there are many, many Porsches other than the 911(Carrera). The only one I would dispute as being a real Porsche is the original 924 which used a lame Audi 4-cylinder engine. Since that time Porsche has used its own motors, with the exception of the 3.2l/3.6l V-6 in the Cayenne.

I picked the S2K this time around only because I couldn't get a deal like I did on my '02 Boxster. I like my S2K, but if I had a choice, an 06 Boxster would be in my garage right now.

 

I wasn't referring to stopping distances, but the Boxster's brakes are simply amazing. The S2K's are fine, but the Brembo's are simply better as far as modulaton is concerned. I am sure the parts for the Boxster are more $$$ just based on the fact they ae larger and have 4 wheel ventillated discs(cross drilled on all S's and newer base models as well).
