Power/weight ratio, 1/4 mile, breaking distance, slalom, drag coefficient all favor the Boxter assuming he is not in a Z4M.

The only way to know for sure is... wait! Do I smell a challenge? I think I do! Find the next open track day in your area and tell him to meet you there and bring his helmet. Solo timed runs, fastest time wins. Loser buys the steaks and beer afterwards. It will be a good bonding day with the ol' VP.

2.7L Boxster vs. Z4 3.0i? Hmm, that's a tricky one. I'd say the Boxster, you have the edge in power, lighter weight, and probably slightly stiffer suspension. That's assuming you have a more recent model tho, the 2000 2.7L might be a bit down at least in a straight line. I drove a 3.0i for a weekend last year, it was pretty fun but not quite the power. The car had quite a bit more roll tho, and the steering wasn't nearly as sharp.

My advice, get a Boxster S and there's no competition Unless it's a Z4M, then you better hope for lots of corners

This will also pit driver against driver. If you are a better driver, you can be in a much slower car and still beat his times.

Here is another U-tube challenge with Boxter, Z4 and Honda S2000. It includes lap times and is good for a chuckle.

They are both fine cars.

I recommend you let it go.

Got one for you Top Gear fans:

The 2003 Boxster beat both the Z4 3.0 and the S2000 around their track.

From what I hear the Z4's have a terrible ride, Or what Clarkson says: Making fun of the Z4 being made for Americans
"It's Sporty, Ain't got no suspention" lol

Check out the Vid:
Part One: Top Gear: Boxster vs S2000 vs Z4
Part Two: Top Gear: Boxster vs S2000 vs Z4

Meh....anyone can buy a fast car. Beat him around a track with a slower car and then you'll really have something to talk about.
