Completely agree... My winter beater is mercury grand marquis. It has 4.6 V8, feels fast because the car squats whenever you press the accelerator pedal (felt fast like in fast and furious movie but it actually took over 9 sec to 60). The cowl/A- pillar/roof make really loud vibration noise whenever you go faster than 65mph (I still sometime check if I still have my roof after extended highway cruising).
It even feel like you are going to flip over if you take corner faster than 35mph

The boxster feels slower as long as you don't look at the speedometer....
