I think the competition in the roadster segment can only be good for new Boxster buyers in the rest of this decade. Raises the old question of when Porsche will put an engine in the Box that matches the chassis in terms of capabilities. I'm guessing maybe the 2008 base Boxster runs the current 280 hp S engine, the S something north of 300bhp.
FWIW BMW is still lagging Mercedes who has had the AMG SLK55 since 2004.
5.4L 8 cylinder 355bhp
4.7 0-60
$62,000
Better looking than the Z4M (subjective, but I think most people would agree)
I test drove one before I got the SLK350 and am still seeing the chiropractor to help with the whiplash I incurred after flooring it.
