Me... 2001 Boxster 2.7 Bone Stock.... Him... same era Honda S2000 Bone Stock.

Who is faster? I won't race him on the street. Stupid and dangerous. But I would like to know how fast that Honda is...

You would have to define the track and assume the driver's are equal.

Are we talking drag race or twisty tight track?

You live in Daytona? Isn't there some sort of race track facility near you??
Sign both cars up for the next open track day with timing. Best time of the day between you wins. Loser buys the steaks and beer.

Both cars are very quick and very close. The driver with the best skills will win.

Daytona International Speedway is here. As far as I know, they don't let anybody ride on the famous high banked turns of Daytona

They do have club days though, SCCA events. The closest thing we got going is the Bithlow Speedway, which is a .25 mile drag strip where you can pay a few bucks and "Race what you brung".

I honestly think if I were to drag race, I would probably lose slightly. My only hope would be a race track with turns, and that my PSM would get my through

His S2000 will beat you in a straight line and if all things are equal will beat you on a circuit track as well. Of course things are never equal when it comes to driving ability so if you can drive better than him you could beat him on a circuit.

^^ yups, what Adam said... The S2000 is more comparable to a Boxster S (986) in terms of its stock performance, than it is to a 2.7L 986...

[jeveretts]

thats kinda what I thought. I never made claims that I didn't think his car was faster... but at the end of the day, he still has a Honda.. and I still have a Porsche.

[renzop]

Assuming both cars are stock and equal drivers:

In a straighline the S2000 is faster. The only contest where the Boxster might win is acceleration from a 10mph or 20mph where the Boxster's better low RPM torque might put you ahead.

In an autocross the S2000 is about 1-2 seconds faster (it is course dependent but the S2000 will probably win regardless of the course)

Track event - hey, what are you doing racing at an HPDE? Very stupid without a cage IMHO. S2000 probably wins here as well but I think the Boxster might have the legs in fast sweepers.

A 986S or a base 987 are probably more even matchups.
