Blinkwatt is right about the car results comparisons. They can only give you general idea of the cars speed because they were all done with different drivers on different days and venues.

Adamn you try running either a 2000+ Cobra or Mach 1?

I have not had the chance to race either of those yet but I will if I ever get a chance. Judging from the performance numbers a Mach 1 would be a very close race for a Box S. They seem to run high 13's like the boxster. The 320hp cobra's would be more of a challenge but certainly not impossible to beat if the boxster was driving well and the other guy doesn't really know what he is doing. If I ever get a chance at either I will post up what happens.

Adam the Cobra pushed 400Hp with 400lbs of torque....Have fun smelling his exhaust fumes

Oh and the Mach 1 pushes 310hp with 335lbs of torque....Have fun with that one as well.

Umm...ok. Who was talking about beating the 390hp/390ft/lb 03+ Supercharged cobra? Not me. How about you reread the above posts. I said that car was fast paticularly with mods and I know a boxster has no chance.

The Mach 1 is not that fast, I don't no why you think it is....here are it's stats.

As I said before the Boxster S and a Mach 1 are nearly dead even.

Here are the stats for the SVT 2000-2002 cobra.. while it is faster than a box s, I wouldn't say blows it away especially if the Boxster driver is better as I mentioned above.

Here are some 2003 Boxster S stats...

I think you fail to realize(as most newbs do) that it's not all about total hp, but HP TO WEIGHT. Maybe you should do some research before you open your mouth newbie.

Adam you’re a funny guy.... I think your calling the wrong guy a newbie... We OWN and I have driven more cars in my 19years of age then you can even think about. A couple of guys on this forum know me a little better.

I would hope everyone on this forum knows it’s not all about the HP...I for one have taken almost a half dozen driving lessons in the past 2years. I've had personal lessons from actual formula 1 drivers which happen to be clients of my family for over 15years. I just know better than to think the Boxster is a fast car, because it’s not at all. And for the record I have beaten many cars from just sheer drivers skill.

The Boxster just so happens to be one of two inexpensive cars that we own and is my daily driver. Our garage goes through more exotics than you can dream of. The most recent came in about a month or so ago...Ferrari 612 Scaglietti (I attached a picture)....And that’s my Van behind it. They are all "toys".

I do not need to do any research on a topic in which I am quite familiar with...I am just not naive in thinking that the Boxster is FAST.

You might want to broaden your view of other cars, and realize that there are better cars out there.

*Hope my post does not offend anyone*

**Own a 2001 Boxster 44k miles**

Photo of the Ferrari was taken day of deliverly 11/9/2005.

I like that Italian car. Frankly, I like most things Italian.

I had this Italian girlfriend once ..........

For comparsion sake, my dad owns a 2002 Benz E320, he rocked me....i know i'm never racing him again, the benzo has power trust me. i think i need a ferrari if were talkin about fast $260,000. but if speed is so much of a concern in a $60,000 kar, then you really should be looking at a porsche turbo 911 2006....seee u

Again, you are putting words in my mouth. I never said the boxster was a fast car...... I did say it is as fast or faster than particular mustangs such as the Mach 1. I don't pretend that my car is an 11 sec monster nor have I ever said it was fast. I don't really care how rich your folks are or how many drivers ed courses you have taken......your 19 and you've been here for a few mo. That classifies you as newbie in my book. I guess you are agreeing with me on the whole mustang thing now because I didn't see any rebuttal on that issue.

Play nice boys. We are (hopefully) all on the same team here.

Merry Christmas!
