Nice run with the Porsche.

Yeah the older Vettes are slow, raced on in the Evo and pretty much destroyed him, would have been the same in the S I imagine

 

Well of course the Boxster S "runs out of breathe at high RPM's" as the motor is designed to make more power down low. Saying that there is "no contest" is ... for lack of a better word, stupid. It is likewise stupid and wrong to say the S2000 handles better and is faster on a road course.

Regarding the Porsches are gay comment, you do realize that when my wife drives my 996 turbo she will run laps around our S2000's and in effect you/we will be beaten by a girl...

 

I like a girl that can kick my ass....

 

I wouldn't mind having a Boxster S cuz I'm a "hair dresser" kinda guy. J/K! But a souped up Boxster S looks very nice.

 

I personally do not think Porsche is gay in general... I'm just not a fan of the boxter... you can't tell if it's coming or going... the design is not my cup of tea...



but I'm glad that your wife can lap S's with a 996T ...takes an amazing driver to pull that off!

 

Nice kill.

A bit OT: I heard from a Porsche owner that they changed the design on the '05 911's so that "they won't be mistaken for a boxter anymore." I know the new Porsches had a makeover, but is this a part of the reason? If I were a 911/996 owner, I'd definately be pissed if anyone mistook mine for a Boxter!

 

To me, Boxster < S2000 < Boxster S.

At our local Autocrosses the Boxster S tend to beat out the S2000's on most courses. (in stock classes)

I don't understand why people hate on the Boxster so much. I kind of like the idea of the Boxster more then the 911, wouldn't take one over a 911 but I like the fact that the motor is in the middle not on the rear (911). I've also seen some really sweet looking ones. No they aren't straight line beast, but neither is the S2000. The only thing I don't like about the boxster is that you see them a lot.


Oh BTW Nice kill, you make me proud.

 

I actually like the boxster headlights more then the turbo and 997 headlights. Looks cleaner too me.

 

Yes, it is designed to make more power down low...but this doesn't make up for the lack of power, PERIOD. The Boxster S simply doesn't accelerate as hard. Coming from someone who's driven the car (me), i'd tend to trust myself on this one. p.s. - i'm sure everyone has seen the infamous video of the M3, S2000, 350Z, Boxster, and the teaser Skyline on the road course. By the end of the race, the S2000 finishes first (Skyline was the camera car), with the Boxster in last, yes in last, behind the 350Z. In straightline performance, ill say its a driver's race because some people dont know how to drive a car with "not that much" torque (S2000), hence why people are losing to 1.8t's of any sort... I've never owned another car manufacturer vehicle besides Honda. With me driving, the S2000 edges out the Boxster, im not saying "no comparison" or anything, but i still believe with equal drivers the S2000 will win. done deal. -Chris

 

You're mistaken! The Z finishes first, and S in second place. That vid is total BS to promote the Z because it was soon to come out then. In it, the Z pulls away from the M3 like it had an extra 200hp. In reality, the M3 would've beaten both the S and Z on a road course like that. That vid is simply BS, because the Z and S pull away from that 340hp (Euro version) M3 with ease on the straights. If I recall correctly, they tested the base Boxster, not the S version.
