It is amazing very easy to use and is such a small movement aswell.

So what is a TRUE sports car anyway

I dont think either arn't a true sports car. Just a different take on the word.

Very similer owners though as, do you not feel as a Boxster owner you are constantly in defence to other porsche owners i.e cayman, 911 owners as you have the baby of the group, a boxster never says they drive a boxster, they say they drive a Porsche. so boxster owners stick together, wave or flash each other and are passionate about their car. Because they are 'protective'.

Having an s2000 is the same as unfortunatly its a 'honda' so its a constant defence and you cant say an s2000 as not everyone knows what that is so you always explain your car, "oh it has 240hp and has red leather and is 150mph etc...etc

With regards to the cars:

Honda managed to get 240hp out of a 2.0ltr engine and yeah okay all that power is at the top end, who cares. You could blast the s2000 everyday within an inch of its life and it still wants more and more. The brakes let it down a we bit.

The Porsche (in my case) boxster S is what 250hp from a 3.2 but you dont always need to drop a gear to blast it, as it has low down torque. The box is better looking but i did feel a little more in control in the S2k prob because its lighter and smaller. ( interior is tiny).
