Aside from steering feel, I don't see the Boxster as having much in the way of mechanical communication on the S2000 or the NSX.

Au contraire mon frére... I've driven several 'sporting' Hondas. i have
tracked a '67 S800, a '94 Accura NSX and an '06 S2K.
I never said they weren't capable, what i said was that they lacked any sort of visceral response. They were like a double dose of 'Sominex'.
Your reply says to me that you have never tracked a lotus (pick your model), a porsche, an Alfa, an MG, a Healey, a BMW etc.
If you had, you'd know what I mean.
You wanna track a car and have no more sensation than you have driving down the expressway? Fine.. that's OK.
But do not try to tell me that a Honda is in any way visceral... It isn't.
Cheers!
