How much slower is my 15 year old Boxster S then when it was new? I test to find out.

I thought I’d be fun to test the 0-60 time of the car to get an idea of real world performance and compare that to the time stated when it was new.

From the factory, Porsche claimed the 986 Boxster S with the Tiptronic gearbox could do 0-60 in 6.5 seconds – let’s see how close to that we can get today.

I’ll be using the Vbox Sport from Racelogic. It can be used as a standalone data logger or connected to an IOS or Android app and be used to accurately measure track laps times or, as we’ll be doing today, measuring performance.
