I think the question of what you want out of the car is paramount. As others have said, if you want pure straight line speed get the 911, if you want better handling and balance get the Boxster.

For me, the Boxster is perfect for a number of reasons: I have the versatility of a (great looking) convertible for daily driving. I have the superior handling of the mid-engine car for weekend thrashing. The two trunk layout works better for me than the 911's useless back seat. My father in law has three 911's and I can lay my hands on one any time I want...which sort of leads me to another thought - my preference is to have the best handling car I can get (I don't care to drag race people, and even if I did the Boxster can dust 90% of the cars on the road). When we tandem up mountain roads I can hang with my FIL in his 911 Turbo, because I can turn inside of him in the Boxster and carry a lot more speed through the apex of turns. Sure, he shows me his taillights on the straights, but on the roads I prefer to drive they are precious few and short.
