re" " this doesn't explain why the base had it's ass handed to it in the slalom by the S"
The Boxster in the prior R&T tests used the stock suspension. the late 02-early 03 update was from an S with the M030 option - Sport chassis rigidly tuned ($690 on 02S.)
Sport Chasis =
More rigid Springs & Shocks
bigger (front) stabilizer bar
According to the 02 sales literature the S has
bigger stabilizer bars,
bigger(doubled) wheel bearings,
longer rear axle control arms
- - -
my S has the setup in the R&T test. It may not be the best, but it is gratifying to have the worlds second fastest slalom numbers for a production car - especially given that the fastest cost about $1 million more than my car.
More gratifying than the numbers is how my stock 986S does on the road - Ask the 3 guys in the 996TT that I tailed for about 70 miles on Sunday - what a blast!

PS. my R&T information is old, I let the subscription lapse last fall.
