Yesterday was the first time I had the Boxster on a track that I had previously driven my former 99.5 A4 on. I was really looking forward to seeing how the two cars compared.
My best with the A4 was 1:51.0
My best with the Boxster was 1:54.2
I'm sure I can get the Boxster down another few tenths, but that's probably about the limit of my capabilities. I was hoping the two would be about the same time. I guess the turbo (altitude), quattro, r-comps and +55 tq more than made up for the A4's balance and extra 200 pounds.
I think if the tires were the same on both cars the times would be very similar. The A4 had RA1s and the Boxster is on RE050As.
