The WRX has 170kw at all wheels. i have to say i was really disapointed with the boxster handling. every review said how great is was and i was expecting it to feel better than the wrx. The wrx is not standard so? however the wrx costs 50k with mods and the boxster new would be 145k. i put H&R springs in boxy to lower him 3cm and its better. just scrape on everything!!!! Porsche mechanic said the boxsters wallow a bit as there is some flex with no roof? To keep up with the wrx in a straight line you need to reallllly flog the porsche and as its my new baby it aint happening yet. Can't be roof down driving though so i forgive it...oh yeah porsches look better!!
