Yes, I used to do this kind of thing when I was very young and lacked maturity. But, hey, I grew up and learned how to make sound decisions, spell correctly, and other useful things.

Perhaps you should try that instead of street racing?

Now, track racing is always available.

Forgive me for keeping this post on target, but I think an S2k would get spanked by a Boxster S. Even a 2.7 can pull away from the Honda at highway speeds.

Yes the 2.7L does pull away from an S2k at highway speeds...I've had first hand experience

Here's some second gear acceleration #s. There's no contest.

Just don't try it with a Subaru Forester Turbo.

No, he's right, highway drag racing is fun... Until you're 20 years old and in a wheelchair, and your brothers dead... but it hasnt happened to you yet so yea, go for it

Interesting...according to that site the 2001 Boxster S is faster than the 2003 Boxster S.
