Light weight, manual steering, a screaming engine that needs to be rev'ed all make for a pure direct communication driving experience that the Boxster can't match.
Cars have evolved to add more safety, luxury, weight and power. The Boxster is from a more modern era where a direct line of communication with the vehicle is much more muted. Acceleration and cornering performance have dramatically improved but the driving experience certainly hasn't.
The 81 3.2 SC is one of the world's greatest driver's cars, period.

My brother had a 1973 air cooled 911. It was a great automobile, no arguement about that. Everyone has their favorites, which is great, it's what makes the world go around. Truthfully, I could push my 944 through a corner much faster than I would ever have been comfortable doing in the 911. Go into a corner with a 911 agressively and you better not chicken out and back off, if you do, you will see more doughnuts than Tim Horton's..
