S v. Base is an argument that will stand the test of time I'm sure. It's emotion vs. reality.

All I know is if you look at the 0 to 60 times - they are negligible. So I don't get how the S is so much faster, when in reality, it isn't. I guess the extra horsepower in the S is negated a bit by the extra weight of the S? (Bigger engine = more weight)

But you do get some extra fancy bits in the S.

Anyways, there is a bit more room in the 987 - but you are entering another price point.

Either way - the Boxster is THE roadster to get. That is the one thing we do agree on here! :-)
