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.

First of all, "old" and "souped up" are not words or phrases that I would use to describe my vehicle. Considerable time, money and creative effort went into modifying my boxster. I prefer to call it meticulously "tuned" or "dialed" in . In any case, I can't say that I have driven the latest iteration of the boxster spyder . However, I have driven just about every model year leading up to it. And, quite frankly, they've all felt like "mush" to me . With that said, I am confident enough to say that the new spyder wouldn't leave any flies living on my vehicle . And, if so, they'd be paying rent .
