			The Boxster is simply not a straight line car, even with added power.  If you want that, get a Z06 Vette, STi, Evo, Twin Turbo Porsche, etc.  
 0-60 times on any powerful modern car are limited not by power, but by grip.  Any of these cars have far more power than the car can put down from a dead stop launch, which is why AWD cars are at a distinct advantage here.  To me, if we're talking about acceleration performance, I don't care about 0-60, I care about 100-160.  Rolling start and quarter mile times and trap speeds tell quite a bit more than 0-60 in my opinion.
 
 The new Series II cars are cool, especially when coupled with PDK.  However, I really think that for a street car, I'd still rather enjoy rowing my own gears.
 
 As to comparing the two cars, I think the 987 is better looking, but I like that the 986 seems a bit more unique, especially on the interior.  While the 9X7 interior is better, it feels much more mainstream than the 9X6 does.
