If it was from a 60mph roll i hope you started in 3rd gear and not 4th, but I have a feeling you had it in 4th gear the whole race. I raced a 285hp(not wheel) modded WRX from a 65 roll twice. The first time I was in 3rd and I took him by at least two lenghs when my speedo hit 100mph. The 2nd time I started in 4th and the result flipflopped and he won by about 2 or so lenghs. This shows just how important it is to race at the start of the boxster's max powerband because it doesn't have the lowend grunt of a small block chevy. Let the vario-cam do it's job!

Doesn't matter how fast an SRT-4 is.

It is a POS. End of story.

I'd rather have a WS6 if I wanted to go fast in a straight line. At least it's rear wheel drive. You can get one slightly used for under $20K. Put $3K worth of mods on it and it will demolish just about any car in a drag race to 150 mph.

I started in 3rd Gear a little over 4,000 RPM's right when the Vario-cam kicks in and shifted in 4th upto 120mph. Just the facts, I sill love my Boxster S and would never want anything more (except an 2005 Boxster S)
