911 vs Boxster S

I was looking at the specs and wondering if the base 911 is considerably faster than the Boxster S and if so, why :

2007 911 Carrera
$73,500.00
0-60 in 4.8 sec ( manual )
325 hp / 273 ft-lb torque
3075 lbs curb weight

2007 Boxster S
$58,910.00
0-60 in 5.1 sec ( manual )
295 hp / 251 ft-lb torque
2987 lbs curb weight

This equates to the 911 having .1056 hp / lb and the Boxster S having .0987 hp / lb ( a difference of only .0069 hp / lb )

It the 911 worth the extra $15,000 strictly from a performance standpoint ?

Thoughts ?

Nick
