325 hp / 273 ft-lb torque
3075 lbs curb weight

2007 Boxster S
$58,910.00
0-60 in 5.1 sec ( manual )
295 hp / 251 ft-lb torque
2987 lbs curb weight

This equates to the 911 having .1056 hp / lb and the Boxster S having .0987 hp / lb ( a difference of only .0069 hp / lb )

It the 911 worth the extra $15,000 strictly from a performance standpoint ?

Thoughts ?
