It's fun to rock and roll with the Carreras. I think a lot of them don't know much about the Boxster nor have many of them ever driven one. I've never gone head to head on acceleration on the highway but on the twisties they really get caught by surprise. I drive to work on a beautiful winding, wooded and hilly road. So I'm enjoying the day rolling along at about 50 and a 911 comes right up behind me, not on my butt to be totally rude but closer than courtesy would dictate. So we go up a windy hill with very tight curves and after the first curve he's falling back, by the top of the hill he's way back and comes racing down the straight away to the stop sign. Now I know on a track the 911 would kick my booty with a decent driver because I am by no means an expert but the Boxster is simply so easy to drive in the twisties without that butt losing, wallowing beasty, gut renching hang on to the steering wheel sensation of the 911 that the everyday 911 driver is not going to stay on my butt for long on a winding public highway. If I hadn't fallen in love with a convertible I would have gotten the Cayman and I just can't imagine what a Cayman with a limited slip and 997 powertrain would to do the 997. The driving dynamics of a mid engine are just unreal. When the warranty's up on my Boxster I'd love to put a Ruf powertrain in it. That will be one unbelievable car.
