Say no more.

p.s.
the meaning of FAST is a bit of a perception. I used to drive a teeny 1.8 miata.
And I never thought the car was slow. Acutally on 'seat of the pants' acceleration from a red light I didn't think it was much slower than my friends standard 911.
I would be up to 60mph in 5 seconds and while the other cars were still rolling off the start.
What changed my perception of FAST was ending my belief that fast meant only going FAST in a straight line. When I see sports car now I think how fast is it on the slalom? skidpad? FAST is not one dimensional. I rented a Mustang recently off the line pretty fast but at the Autocross I'm regularly 2 seconds faster than some very fast drivers in that car. And I'm not even really trying
Beating/Matching 993/996 911's is a regular occurence. To me that makes the Boxster FAST.
