On a related note, and maybe I need to repent for this, I test drove a 996 this past weekend. Have to say I liked it a lot...mostly the extra power it had. I am not sure about the rear engine tho vs the boxster, I really like the precision of the boxster.

This makes me think back to when I first autocrossed the BoxsterS. I was matching and in some cases beating the times of guys with the standard 996. Granted they weren't the best drivers present but that's sort of the point.
I drove all the 996s. I found the standard to be the most agile. The Turbo, C4S the least. Actually the C4S felt like a boat. C4S Cabriolet felt like a wet noodle boat. 996 Cabriolet I would not even bother to drive -- cutting the roof off that car of all cars makes as much sense as putting chrome spinners on a F430. and I was once a passenger in a 996 GT3 during a downpour that came out of nowhere. Not safe. Out of alignment: dangerous
