No, I believe the engine was held back and the statistics prove it. The 2000 3.4L 996 engine has 88hp/liter while the 2000 boxster S only has 78hp/liter. These engines are based on the same technology and time period. There is no doubt advances have helped both the 911 and the boxster but there's no disputing Porsche has always sandbagged the boxster. They won't even give the car a limited slip....
