The box does mid 14's and the box s does high 13's. This is huge. The difference between a 13.8 sec run and 14.4 sec run is a couple big yellow mayflowers. Road and track seem to steer vehicles just fine but something happens when they try to get the car down the strip. They are consistently the slowest out of all major car magazines. They need to take driving lessons from M/T or C&D.

Again, I repeat, the performance between the base and S is a toss up. An expert driver with DE experience in a base can beat you in your S on a track, 0 - 60, 1/4 mile, whatever, you name it. It takes more skill than you think to do launch starts and 1/4 mile runs.
On the other hand, you in say a 997S can beat that expert driver in his base. The performance advantage of the 997S over the base Boxster is clear. The performance advantage of the Boxster S over the base Boxster is not so clear. It depends more on the driver in this case.
P.S. you've grown up Adam since you were kicked out of ppbb.com. That's one thing we have in common- we were both kicked out of ppbb.com. Who knows, maybe they will take you back.
