I have had 3 BMWs and I know better than to line up against a late model M3, or maybe even the new 335s. I hear those are fast. I have owned a Stealth ES and a 3000GT VR4. The Turbo 3000GT would eat my Boxster for lunch. But, like I said, drag racing is not why I bought the Boxster. Also, keep in mind, I live in Texas, there are plenty of wide open Highways with no traffic. So, I don't have many of the issues that you guys might have with other drivers, at least not in these instances.

I did run a Carfax and it showed that the service had been done on a regular basis along with having an emission failure once that was fixed the next day. And, I did a full tune-up within a few days of buying it. I have not serviced the tranny yet, but that is next. It hesitates between shifts under hard acceleration. I am not quite sure why, but I am going to try the service first and see what happens.

Regardless of whether or not the car is fast, it sure gets a lot of looks from people when I have it in town. It is a beautiful car and I very much enjoy driving it with the top down.
