Observations after 2 months with my 986S

[Marc Gelefsky]

Perhaps my problem is I drive allot of different cars all the time, I had an 06 Corvette Z06 for 2 weeks, that was FAST! oh boy! But I still prefer the feel of a Porsche.
I think my 3.2 Carrera feels faster because it has much more low end ooomf
My Audi S4TT was a rocket... but it was a sedan..feh

My intention with this post was not to start a debate but just see if others noticed the same things.

All that said, I find the Boxster to be an incredibly satisfying car to drive, I like the roadster aspect and that's why I did not get a 996.
And Perfect lap, I agree. The Boxster S does not feel much slower than a base 996, I drove a ton of both in my search.

Say no more.

p.s.
the meaning of FAST is a bit of a perception. I used to drive a teeny 1.8 miata.
And I never thought the car was slow. Acutally on 'seat of the pants' acceleration from a red light I didn't think it was much slower than my friends standard 911.
I would be up to 60mph in 5 seconds and while the other cars were still rolling off the start.
What changed my perception of FAST was ending my belief that fast meant only going FAST in a straight line. When I see sports car now I think how fast is it on the slalom? skidpad? FAST is not one dimensional. I rented a Mustang recently off the line pretty fast but at the Autocross I'm regularly 2 seconds faster than some very fast drivers in that car. And I'm not even really trying
Beating/Matching 993/996 911's is a regular occurence. To me that makes the Boxster FAST.
