yah, i'm pretty sure that if it was compared to this old boxster in the video then the S would be faster.

in regards to handling, so far for me, it's subjective....i haven't driven aggressively with him to see definitely who's faster since i've got way more experience driving on turns than he, but based on how flat it was through some corners he took while i was sitting passenger + the much wider tires, i'm fairly to pretty positive it handles better

It does. Not by much though. That mid engine really helps

Great video. Thanks for the post.

Agreed= Z4 is ugly- great suspension and drive train, but ugly.

Agreed= I am not trading in my S for either of those vehicles.

Agreed= people but Boxsters because they can not afford a 911.

so are the same people that are getting all upset that the 06 will have traction control any of the same people that are blaming the s2000's last place finish on the lack of it?

if you want performance and thats it, you get an s2000. if you want comfort and performance, you get either the bmw or the porsche. if you want a cool badge, you get the porsche.

i think the z4 is sexy, the s2000 is sexier, and the ? well, its goddamned ugly.

I had to stare at the picture for a moment.

I really like the style of all 3 cars. Hard to say which I like best, even though I have an S. I used to think that the z4 was kind of ackward, but the more I look at it the better it looks.
