Go for it, it's a drivers race stock vs stock. Boxster s' are a little more powerful up top though i believe, but i think since he's got automatic and bigger (heavier) rims you should take him by a little bit... then again your S isn't totally broken in yet. But you'll never know until you try...

Don't bet any money on it, but it'll be a good race if you can drive.

yes, the "S" gets stronger with the more miles u put on it, but it should be a drivers race. go for it and see what happens. didn't know they made boxster s's in autos...

Its an overseas thing. The US is probably the only country in the world that measures in ft. and miles.

So, since 600m is 6/10's of a kilometer, its not as easy to say 6/10's km as it is 600m.
