OK,
So after modifying Hondas for the past 10 years for mainly legal drag racing and most recently autox, I have decided to grow up up and get a more refined car. In other words, I am looking to buy a car which has superior braking and handling capabilities straight from the factory. Right now, my 2 options are 97-99 Boxsters (non-s) and 00-01 S2000's.

I know that the S2000 would beat the Boxster in a straight line b/c Jeremy Clarkson proved this in an old top gear. However, in a different episode of TG, the Boxster seemed to handle in track conditions far superior to the S2000.

My question is, for those of you who have autox'ed their Boxsters, how do they handle compared to other cars?

FYI, I do not drag race anymore since I mainly autox and do hot laps when I can at a local track.
