Did you not drive the car, or another base Boxster prior to your purchase? I've not owned a tip but have owned a 98 base and 00 S at the same time. The 98 did not have the performance of the S but was still a blast to drive and was certainly quick enough when the revs were raised.

You bought a 18 year old car that, when new, had 200HP. You also bought the tip version, which subtracts a bit of performance. The car is a blast when driven in the 4-7K rpm range, where it makes the most HP. Acceleration from a light or typical stop/go traffic commuting will not highlight the fun factor and performance of this car.
