Would you consider the Boxster the bench mark

[Perfectlap]

well the thing with the Boxster is the price.

The S2000 is a heck of allot bang for the buck and Its rock solid reliable.

At my last autocross event I quickly got the impression that many people feel its the best option for the money; about 6 guys traded whatever they were previously driving for the s2000. It's now the most represented car in all of the local racing clubs. One guy who was a very experienced junior formula racer who traded up for the S2000 knew more about my BoxsterS than I did. He said it was the perfect sportscar but too expensive with the s2000 as an option.

As long as price matters I think the S2000 will be the bench mark for a roadster for a long time to come.
