Car and Driver rating the 987

[Adam]

Here's just alittle additional mag info. The latest R&T has a best sports car comparo that includes the box s, c6, elise, viper, Carrera S, Z4,SLK, among others. The C6 won the shootout by 1 point and the Boxster got 2nd, but 5 out of the 8 editors chose the boxster as the best which says more to me than subjective #'s on the last page.

P.S. The boxster S recorded the highest slalom mph of any car to date at 73.9mph and also a very respectable .98G on the pad. It is a slalom beast!

This is the Boxster strongpoint, ie the mid engine, finely balanced chasis tied to a very nice drive train.
