Liked this quote...

On the highway, passing that slowpoke in the 2006 Boxster can be accomplished quickly and easily without even a single downshift.

Now I'm going to have to go kick Scott Oldham's ass...

I can't believe it took them 6.1 seconds to get to 60 in the previous 987S - how in the WORLD could they have been that slow in testing?

SD987 08-24-2006 01:25 PM

Because the 05S they tested was a Tip. Just another example of auto journalists being a collection of numbskulls....

Figures they would use a tip. Idiots. Way to evenly match your test vehicles. 6.1 Sounds like the figures from a Manual 2.7L

that was a horribly written review. He didn't even talk about the S all that much...he kept bringing up the Cayman and the Base. My learning disabled nephew could have written a better article than that. Oh no he didn't just say that.

I too think the article was poor. Not much relevant content. Actually, not one comment on how different (if at all) the 07 S is to the 06.
