As "tricky" as a 911 is to maximize its handling, the new versions are very hard to do anything silly in. Go back to an '80s or '70s 911 and its a bit different story. No computers, smaller tires and antiquated suspension design.
Believe me, if you "think" you are getting 100% out of your boxster on the street, you would have to be an even better driver than if you were in a 911.
Why?
Because in a 911 you are always aware of that mass behind you. You learn to always ADD gas in a corner, rather than lift.
the boxster has such balanced handling, that is
doesn't give nearly the amount of feedback as you approach the limit untill its nearly too late. A boxster becomes VERY twitchy at the limit compared to a 911.
The Boxster is easier to drive.. but that doesn't make it better
