I recently traded in my 99Z3 2.8L for a 00 Boxter 2.7L. Totally different vehicles. The Z3 had crisper and more reponsive midrange power whereas the Boxter seems to suck in alot of air without much acceleration in comparison. The Boxter is more refined and a bit larger car which probably accounts for the sapping of some horsepower. The overall ride is similar but the Boxter has a much more luxurious feel and appearance plus shifts much easier than the Z. I'm still getting used to the transition but definately happy regarding the choice that was made so far.
