American car manufacturers think that building a sports car is just to place a big engine in a car frame and thats it. Look at the Corvette and Mustang. They both have 500 plus HP and will beat any Boxster on a drag strip. Are they good race or sports cars? I don't think so. How many races have they won? The Boxster will leave them in the dust on a road course.
Porsche has won more races than any other car manufacturer by a factor of about 10. They're in business to build road race cars and have been very successful at it.

That's not entirely true.
It's true that the manufacturers have to cheap out on Corvettes and Vipers (really the only 2 american sports cars aside from the solstic and sky) to make them cheaper, but they are still very solid cars in all types of performance, especially the viper.
