Well, I guess it's possible that a Chrysler 300 with a Hemi could beat a base Boxster off the line, but once you hit any kind of twisties, it's over.

The Boxster has never been intended as a scorcher. If people want a straight line bullet, buy a used Camaro SS and be proud. However, if people want a true driving experience, which includes all aspects of controlling an amazing piece of machinery with precision, the Boxster is hard to beat.

I will admit that it will be nice when they pump up the horses in the next Boxster a bit.
