Fun isn't it
I've had my 3.8 Boxster neck to neck with a 997 GT3 and it was just about a perfectly even match. Unfortunately, even with B&B headers and FabSpeed exhaust the GT3 still sounds intoxicating comparatively....
We had two 60 degree days here the other day and I had the Boxster out, during one of the days I pulled into a BP station to get fuel and noticed that there was a 987 Boxster there as well. As I get out of the car, the guy says to me "that's not exactly stock, is it" with a smile, and I said "no, not exactly." We chatted for a bit and he asked if I'd give him a quick ride, so he parked his car and hopped in and we ran around for a few miles. By the end, I almost had to pick his jaw up off the floor LOL. As I was dropping him off, he just smiled and said "wanna trade?" Needless to say, I politely declined
