I agree with Jacabean on the Gemballa, RUF or otherwise expert prepared cars as a exciting prospect. There are not too many on the market and even fewer PDK. It occurs to me this morning that I will have to see whatever I buy, god I don't even know if I'll like the view out the spyder and I am certainly not psyched about a 70K car with yet another plastic back window. The spyder premium puts it alongside the 2009 911 cabrio I drove at the dealer in price as well.

I have seen a video of a Cayman S beating a Ferrari 360 on a race track in two different video's and racetracks somewhere on youtube.

I would not be suprised if the Boxster Spyder is faster than the 360 around a race track.

Me either and the only criticism anyone seems to be able to muster is the top, general consensus is it's one of the best Porsches to leave the factory and the current weight champion of the lineup. When you look at the Ferrari the body looks massive contrasted against a modern boxster and the 2000 series of the Modena just looks old to me.

Listen ! As much as I like boxsters and caymans (and to be quite frank, I have one of the most well tuned no expense spared boxsters that I've ever come across), neither vehicle even remotely compares to a 360 Modena. If you ever have the chance to drive one you'll experience the difference. The 360 is a whole different level of automobile - much more sophisticated and mature than any boxster or cayman that I've driven . As far as who's passing who on the track, and what type of vehicle he or she is driving is subject to many variables. I'm sure that there are a number of members here on the forum who could drive the pants off of most of us regardless of what kind of vehicle they were given .

JD, You make a good point about driver ability, I'm certain Michael Andretti could spank me in a much lesser capable vehicle. However JD, to be fair, you are basing the Boxster Spyder's inability on how fast your old souped Boxster is. Sure the Modena has more power, Porsche has been giving up power forever but I'll bet good money the Spyder can carry as much or more pace in a corner than a 2000 Modena. The old Modena is giving up a couple hundred pounds to the Spyder as well and does not have the superior lightweight wheels at each corner either.
