Boxsters all wheelhop if you really get on it. Not good for your pinyon bearing and may lead to failure. Learning to do a smooth launch without damaging the clutch or transaxle is a tricky business. If you like to do a lot of stoplight launches, add an LSD or start shopping for a spare trans.

FYI: A 996 TT is all wheel drive with LSD. They always launch great.
