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.[/QUOTE]


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*

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!

One of my neighbors in Birmingham had a 2004 Cobra with a "few" modifications. It showed 607hp on the dyno and was a daily driver. The biggest problem with it was it wouldn't / couldn't hook up the power in a consistent manner. It could smoke the tires until the cows came home but it wasn't a whole lot of fun to drive until you got it off the line and got the speed up a little. You can put as much power as you want under the hood but if the suspension isn't ready for it...good luck!

A Metro could have beat that thing in 0 to 100 feet!!!

I personally think one of the reasons so many people like the Boxster is it's consistent and predictable when you apply the gas. It doesn't get twitchy like so many other cars.

when changing my 97 boxster i actually tried a clk 320 as i like the look of it, i think it is one of the pretiest coupe on the road for a while now, unfortunately the interior was not up to scratch more like living room seat and vast space, as for the drive i pushed it in "manual" mode hard and the car decided that it would'nt do any gear change for me anymore and i had to go back in automatic to get going again, i obliviously stayed well away and bought myself my little S instead.
happy motoring
