Guys,
I've had my 03 Boxster S for about 8 months, and have avoided the urge to street race. Loved the car, but always concerned about tickets or accidents. Comes with growing up. Anyway, I just went and drove my first Driver Education course at Sebring Raceway yesterday - driving fast on a closed track, with a dedicated instructor -
What a complete and total rush... You will learn to corner, brake, and how to hit the corners properly. I passed or held off almost everything except for 911 4S's and other hot 911s, along with a few newer Caymen S'. This was a fairly short 1.7 mile course (1.2 the racetrack), but I was hitting over 100 on the straights...
Bottom line, if you guys want to drive your cars fast, please go to a track, at a sanctioned event (Porsche Club put this on) and be safe. Be safe to innocent bystanders and kids. I guarantee you it will be a blast and change your view of Boxsters as a pretty darn hot car.
