I'll say this about the Spyder now sporting a 991 Carrera S engine.... this is a whole different level of Porsche.
This car is not quick for a Boxster, it's quick for any sports car. I just wish they offered it with PDK and the GT4 suspension/steering. Even without the latter, it was only a mere 7 seconds down from the GT4 at 17.5 mile N-ring. Which leads me to believe that the lighter Boxster GT4 would be the faster of the two if power and suspension were equal.
