Yeah I hate people who think that speed is the only cause of accidents. At the track, in my 944 i'm doing 115 wishing for more speed, i'm twiddling my thumbs down the strait! In the Boxster 160 seems quick but very stable.

You'd have to be weaving between lanes like a moron to suddenly loose control. That or a mechanical failure. Also remember that many European drivers are trained a whole lot better than 99% of US drivers.

Italian cars have never been known for their reliability and they also only get driven 4-5 thousand miles in 10 years. So very few ever see enough miles to discover these problems.

That being said, even will all the money in the world, I would stick with German cars...
