JD, You make a good point about driver ability, I'm certain Michael Andretti could spank me in a much lesser capable vehicle. However JD, to be fair, you are basing the Boxster Spyder's inability on how fast your old souped Boxster is. Sure the Modena has more power, Porsche has been giving up power forever but I'll bet good money the Spyder can carry as much or more pace in a corner than a 2000 Modena. The old Modena is giving up a couple hundred pounds to the Spyder as well and does not have the superior lightweight wheels at each corner either.
