My (just bolt on,N/A) modded mustang GT handed two 3.2 s their ass on a platter. I tested with different S owners whom I know and who decided to drag race me in my GT fairly from the line, not one of those highway or stoplight cock fights.
Ive also raced my ex-gf who was driving my GT while I was in my 2.7 boxster and she was a car length ahead of me by 45.
Thats my experience.
Boxsters just don't have the torque and straight line balls... but in my opinion they don't have to. I like my boxster more than any car Ive ever owned.

And apparently you like your Boxster more than your old girlfriend! Does this have anything to do with the fact that she beat you?

Hate to sound like the old man of the group but please keep your racing off the public streets. In addition to being a Boxster enthusiast I am also a cyclist and have had not less than 1000 near death experiences from motorsits who were travelling too fast to see me. As a sports car owner paying far too much for insurance (despite a spotless driving record) I urge everyone to stop racing their sports cars on the street, an activity that contributes to higher premiums for this category of car.

1/4 mile racing is fun(not really high performance driving in my book) but should be contained to racing venues where this is monitored with fire and rescue on standby. Overall its a very irresponsible activity that they don't tolerate even on the Autobahn (where the police pull you over for driving too slow).
