There's obviously something wrong with your vehicle. No Mini Cooper should be able to out accelerate a boxster . Let alone an 'S" . I own/owned both .

He doesn't mention the color but perhaps it's not yellow? That could explain it...

Arctic Silver with grey top and interior; perhaps that's what's causing the CEL...

Actually, before acquiring my 986 S, I can recall destroying the egos of 2 base model Boxster owners with my Chickee's MCS 6spd on 2 separate occasions. A stock base Box (2.5L) with tip versus a stock MCS 6spd is not a foregone conclusion...
