Read enough on the S2K board and you’ll find at least 5 praises for every 1 criticism for the Boxster. The criticisms are generally about the cost, not the car itself.
Your ratios are screwed. It's more like 5 to 1 against. I've read s2ki plenty.

FYI The SCDA events I mentioned are road course track events. They run on NHIS, LimeRock, and Watkins Glen. Just about everyone there – F-guys, P-guys, Vette-guys – are great people and a joy to chat with. Maybe most Porsche folks race within their own PCA circle, I don’t know.
Exactly. You don't know. Yet that didn't stop you from insinuating that there's less Porsches running due to having more poseurs. And flat out claiming that there's "no blonde bimbos" driving S2K's, again insinuating owners are poseurs. Guess what...? Nobody F'in cares. Bottom line is the Boxster S is a superior car to the S2K. Bimbo or not.

S2000 is not being discontinued. I don’t know where you learn that rumor from.
I guess I know your car better than you. That "rumor" is mentioned more often than not on s2ki. Why don't you give me the info on the new gen S2K then? Surely they have something in the works? However, I'm sure you won't be able to produce anything. The '06 model year, if there is one, will be exactly like every previous gen. That's forever in Japanese car cycle. I'm guessing the NSX is the longest running generation ever. Even the Corvette has changed since then. OUCH!

They sell just about as many units as Boxsters each year even without AT. They are not the hot items they once were, but they are doing OK.
Porsche is a boutique car maker. They deal with low volumes by having higher prices. An S2K that only sells in the 20K volume range at $30K is a failure for a manufacturer like Honda.

And by the way, stop pretending you own a midengined car. A "front-midengine" is a marketing term. The only real midengined configuration that matters is when the engine is behind the driver.

Every S2K owner I've met has had this cocky attitude like 120hp/L means something.

And every one that I've ran has gotten their ass kicked, even in my old E36 M3.

Oh, but the S2K is a great car. I'm not trying to Honda bash.
