I would never street race and I find it very stupid but there is nothing wrong with enjoying the car, or having a small tussle with a wrx or BMW.... Mustangs and such I don't even bother with though.

Street racing, who has done it?
The fact a small displacement NA six cylinder car keeps with 5.0 and larger v8s (not to mention from in many cases 5 or more years newer cars) always be considered a feat and something to be quite proud of about our cars.

Curb weight difference. Back seats, big ol hood, etc.....
The feel of a 5.0+ off the line is impressive. Love that rumble of HP.

Oh I do totally agree if I wanted a car for that I would never choose the boxster, never recommends it for someone looking for that. It is just good to know the car is fairly well rounded.

Besides, we all know the last year Ford rolled out a decent mustang was 1969.

The 69 Boss 302 was great to drive. But the 66 gt40 was pure joy

I never understood any of that. Fake hood scoop and other fake vents.

I made a sign that says "0-100km in 5.1 sec" which I show to those wanting to race. They mostly get a big laugh out of that. They know what their car will do.
