On the other hand, the Miata is a very good handling car, and with 480hp it will be much faster than the Boxster (and probably almost anything else) on track.
Actually, considering how twitchy MR2s are and how much of a monster the Miata is, I wouldn't bother taking the Boxster to the track either. It's so tame and well behaved that I would think it would be pretty boring in comparison. Then you don't have to worry about how low the roll hoops are either.
