You might want to question the credibility of the stats listed as according to that site the 2.5L 201HP Boxster time 0-60 is 6.2 seconds but the 2001 220HP Boxster is 6.6????? Ya can you explain that one please?

Ya the 2.5L is more of a 7second car 0-60....sorry to disappoint you guys but the 2.5L wasn’t very fast. I’m not hating on the boxster either I have a 2001 and we also owned a 1997 until it was stolen.

On top of all things ive never been a Mercedes fan even though we own multiple models. But im not gonna sit here and give credit where its not due.
