2001 boxster s v. '05 s2000?

[Perfectlap]

The S2000 is lower on torque in comparison but I don't think it really matters.
Its an extreme example of race car engineering in a regular road car.
The max torque is set at max revs, Honda changed that a couple of years ago
and brought the max torque down a few thousand revs...so its not as race car like anymore....but still, the "lack" of torque and two less cylinders doesn't keep it from matching the higer torque 2.7 Boxster lap times at most autocross venues.

I think if they re-styled the S2000 to look more like a Ferrari 360 Spyder in yellow, with its current best gear box in sports car world bar none, I'd have to buy one just for the track.
