Boxster Killer?

[Adam]

I really don't think you are giving the Z06 enough credit. We are all Porsche owners here but you have to give credit where it's due. The Z06 pulls 1.00g on the skid pad(which is better than any stock boxster) and slaloms just as quick as a boxster S. While it may or may not give superior feedback or steering feel or whatever it certainly can corner with the best of them. Just one look at it's ring times tells the story. Few production cars produce sub 8 min times and it's actually quicker than a 360 Modena at that track which is the measuring stick for many when a cars track/performance abilities are concerned. You are right about the interior....but my arguement comes purely from a performance perspective. Another way to look at it I guess is to ask this qustion. Is a more upscale interior worth the price of a pretty decent house?

Adam, maybe you're right. If you have the time to download this 36 mb file, it's fun to watch the Lotus catch up with the Vette on the Nurburgring in the twisties and lose it's gain the second it flattens out...

I have dial-up so I won't be able to download at this time, but I have no reason to doubt what you say. The Lotus is an extremely capable car in the twisties.

Awesome video man. Reminds me of Gran Turismo 4. I posted it up on another forum, I hope it doesn't mess with your bandwidth.
