986_inquiry,
You must have had possession of the fastest 2.5 and 2.7 on the planet, being that you found your 2.5 to be quicker than a 2.7 and your 2.7 to be quicker than a 335.
I've not driven any base boxsters, but lots of 996s, 993s and my current 986S as well as the BMW 335 (and others).
A 335 will absolutely outrun my 2002 S in a straight line...easily! An M3 (even one of the same year) would absolutely smoke it as would an M roadster.
I love the way the 986's drive, but overly quick they're not. In this day and age a mid 5 sec 0-60 is quick car, but it's far from leading in almost any class whether it be SUV, Sedan, Coupe or Compact.
Great cars, but rockets they are not...
