I have a lowly 2.5 and it's a tad underpowered for city driving but more power than I know what to do with on a track or the Tail of the Dragon. In fact, if I lived near the TOD I'd never yearn for a larger motor in my car or a Cayman S or 911.

I must say though, when I get into the boxster after driving my BMW 550i with a beast of a V8 in it that goes like stink even though it's a heavy sedan (0-60 in 5.0 seconds flat) I am left feeling a little underwhelmed with the power of the 2.5.

What I try to do is remind myself of the TOD and track time when I cruise around town in the boxster. It's just not designed for city driving.
