I love all things 911, and have for the last 30 years I've owned the various models (Carreras, RS America and turbos). With that said, my Boxster S is an absolute joy to drive and I am constantly defending the car to the 911 purists.

They snicker until I take them around the track a few laps; it will run circles around most 911s these days...even on street tires. My friend runs against my track prepared '73 2.4 911 in his Box S with R spec tires...we run about identical lap times and I guarantee he's not working as hard as I am.

Oh, almost forgot...+1 on Renntech and Pelican, though I really appreciate this forum.
