I find it amusing the different responses you get from boxster owners who never drove a 911 as I was one of them until recently and 996 owners who know very little about the boxster.
This. Both communities are highly biased (although I think the 911 crew moreso).

As a community, the 911 folks tend to modify their cars more. For example, a high percentage upgrades their suspensions.

How many old 911s are on their original suspension (very few).
What percentage of 986 Boxsters? Most.

Imagine how good a 986S can be if you were willing to upgrade a few things?
