Bmw Is Talking Trash!!! Need Help.

My regional VP saw my 2000 2.7 boxster and started talking trash about it. Now i dont know if it is true but he says his car is faster and will handle better on the track, I just cant believe it so if anyone has any info on this let me know I want to stick it to him. He drives a BMW z4 dont know the year but can find out if needed please help me crush him if you can

AZ UFO, does this Regional VP report to you...or do you report to him?

If you report to him, let it drop, not a good career move to set him straight!

If he reports to you, kick his arse, and then fire him for stupidity.

Hey, on second thought, get some Red Line Water Wetter, and when he is not looking, put it in his fuel tank.

Muahahah!!


Totally depends on which model he has. Find out the year. The 2003 3.0 has 225hp, which is very close to your 217hp. Straight line figures are very close also. The later years have 255hp which is close to 986S.


I was considered the z4 before I got the box. The two cars are really close. The z4 posted 2mph higher slalom speed than the 986S which is a surprise. I think the consensus is the box is easier to drive hard, and more forgiving. In a race, it will be up to shear will power and preperation. Either that or treachery. Note: sabotage with WW will need 9 months before your race.

Since he laid down the challenge, you go first and he has to pass you.
Use the Boxster's big brakes. Brake hard, dive into the corners, and win the curvy bits.
As you exit into the straights where he has the advantage, just don't give him the hand signal to pass (it's DE rules, right?). How hard can it be? It's like a free steak and beer....

but I agree, a day at the track with true car people can be fun, regardless of the outcome. If he's a Type A, let it go and go back to work.
