you're comparing an "older" 911 to a "less old" boxster.

FWIW, I would STILL prefer the boxster over even a similar year 911.

I have a 2000 2.7L 5 speed. my brother in law has a 1999 911 3.4L. he has the 6 speed, full aero kit, Sport Technic wheels, litronics, SSK - it's a VERY nice car.

I have driven his car a few times - and I have to say that I would rather drive my boxster than his 911. I LIKE his car - and would take it over MOST other cars - but for just having a fun drive - I prefer the feel of my boxster. The box feels better balanced in turns - and being able to put the top down is worth MAJOR points - but I"m biased b/c I really wanted a roadster. and I hate how the 911 cabrios look..

of course in a drag race he would eat me up - his car is quite a bit quicker - although on a track I think I could hang in the turns. his car seems softer/squishier/more body roll than my boxster. He has OEM suspension and I have M030 - maybe that's part of it.
