No it is not ...I said mine is a 99 all 99 have the 2.5 motor not a a 2.7 the 2.7 Boxster S did not come out until 2000,There for it has a 0-60 time of 7.7 sec. This time can also be confirmed in Car&Drivers Oct. 2009 issue.

The Manual you are showing is for a Boxster S not a base Mod. W/ a 2.5.

I don't know what you guys are on. The answer is simple and obvious: 1997 Mazda Miata with a LS1 dropped in, tuned, coilovers, beefy r-comps....it will beat the evo, boxster, fast and furious Honda Accord, and everything else on the track for far less money.

Oh you mean that doesn't offer you EVERYTHING you want in a car? So I suppose it's up to subjective opinion and personal taste? Oh....

hey guys you are all starting to head towards left field. I do not have any problem with my 03 S s performance , it is a little slow off the line but once the revs build it's plenty good. the handling with the mid-engine layout is hard to beat and the brakes are very good.
I always thought a true sports car had to have 3 equal traits. power=handing=brakes. there is no doubt that the boxster is a great sports car.
the mustang 6 or gt do not have the balance therefore they are not considered . The corvette ZO6 a nice car but has that 50 year old plus thing attached to it and every thing i've read about it says the same thing , great on the track bad on the street and some cheap ass seats. the lotus is great but has no daily comforts and the evora is out of the question , the cayman beats that car anyway. The EVO, good car. it's got the balance but got that ****************ty ricer image and is kind of ugly.
the problem with porsche is simple , the cars cost to much, break to often are super pricey to modify and sometimes they just blow up. so what can ya do ?

So how many miles do you have on your Boxster and how much do you want for it? I have an 03 and am thinking of upgrading from to an S. I will help you unload it for quick.

Good point sir, I quoted you, I was thinking about the 03 'S' that started this thread, which is a 3.2 258hp engine, my 00 'S' is a 3.2 250hp.
