Quite a few compared the Boxsters to 914s. I had three 914-4s, over the years, and one '70 - 914-6.
I wouldn't want to trade the sophistication of my 987S for any of them, but, then again, there's no such thing as tossing the 987 around the way you could "toss and catch" the 914-6.
When I started racing formula fords in the mid 70s, it was just a nice big step ahead of tossing around my 914-6. You could set it up into a corner and at whatever angle you wanted to continue thru the corner, you simply stabbed the throttle and caught it by planting the rear tires with power. The absolute beauty of an extreme low polar moment car.(all the weight in the center)
Anyone who never drove on hot slicks just doesn't know what they are missing!!! :dance:
