Chris-

I've watched your vids a have to give you two thumbs up for your abilities on the track!

Regarding the above quote, I'm new here and need elaboration. Thanks.

I own an Evo X and an 03 S . The boxster is way more fun But the evo will destroy it at the track , auto x and on the street . it is that good . it's big , ugly and over weight but when that boost kicks in ! 0-60 around 4.5 and on a cold day you would think the car has 50 more h.p. what is funny is it just sits in my garage. I never drive it because the boxster is such a better car in a different way. I think the newer DI caymans , boxsters would have no trouble keeping pace with the turbos. the turbos may rocket up to speed but run out steam in the top end .

also those GTO things are crap .a few years back when i had an evo8 i would smoke those GTOs easily. poor handling and difficult to put the power down . The Evos AWD is like launch control !

I would not even waste the effort trying to keep up with a boosted rice rocket. 986 is not a drag car in any sense of the word. It's wade for the twisties. The 986 chassis feels composed and relaxed on back roads at speeds that would be terrifying in other cars (just don't bottom the car out on an unfamiliar road...

Yeah, those are fast cars. And with a good driver and the right tires, they kill it at the track and AX events. I was AXing back in January and February in below freezing temps, and those AWD beasts were the only folks with manageable traction.
Still, I love my 986 (must lose weight, must lose weight, must lose weight...)

Evo's are capable of 4.5 second 0-60 in stock form with a good driver. It is difficult for a modified Boxster to acheive the same without Launch control.

it's an EVO......not to get all snobby, but the evo X is $40,000 before the mods and looks like this.....



Or I could spend a lot less and drive this....



Let me tell you where my money would be (and is) going. If it were only about speed, there are faster cars than an evo....

Agreed. Bang for buck? I'd have to go with 400hp for 10 grand = 2005+ GTO with LS2



With the 6.0 Corvette LS2 there's TONS of performance mods available. Not that you really need them, with 0-60 in the mid 4s and a quarter time somewhere between 12.8 and 13.3, it's already very fast

shame it looks more like a grand am or grand prix than a performance hotrod, but then again the Evo X is no looker either, if you can get past the looks the GTO is a better bang for the buck. Evo screams boy racer = hat on sideways, pants saggin, scrawny white kid spending daddy's money, "FAS AN FURIOUS YO!"
