Default S2000 v Cayman v Boxster S v NSX v 350Z

Click for video

Interesting results...the 06 seems to understeer a lot more than previous MYs.

Interesting vid - just shows how far the S is lagging behind the competition nowadays (in power at least, not enjoyment ).

Does seem to understeer a lot. Disappointing result being that far behind the leaders

Great vid

Can't say my 06 understeers more than my 04 or 00 car

In fact round France last week I found myself oversteering it in to corners for more

Mikey - I'll try and find a few more vids where tghey race the 0 and 02 MY on the same track - there is a big difference in the way the car handles.

mmm 2 secs a lap slower, having said that, the other cars were more powerful, and that S was a poxy 2.2

I was impressed with the Boxster S holding off the Gayman.

The increase in to 300 bhp in the 350Z also shows now... pity they can't make some weight savings with that car.

I agree, a good and more even race would have been:

S2000
350Z Roadster
SLK280
Z4 3.0
Boxster (not the S)
