being on my third boxster with 3 different motor types I think I got a good feel for these cars. after having my 3.2 for a couple of weeks now I really got a feel for it . The first thing i noticed about the 3.2 is it does not like to rev. like the 2.7 . The 3.2 is more torquey than i thought it would be and the 3.6 is something on a whole different level.

the 3.6 was not a very good driver for Massachusetts roads , coil overs just can't handle the terrain here and you can not really utilize the the power the 3.6 has to offer. The 2.7 was fun up around redline and sounds great i think it sounded better than the S but felt like a civic in quality compared to the updated and refined 03 S. For those of you who are looking for a 986 i would highly recommend an 03 or 04 they really are a much better car than the earlier ones .
