I test drove a couple of 2.5L models and have to say they were noticeably slower than the 2.7L facelift I eventually bought. I didn't try a 987 2.7L but I cant imagine a 2.5L ever keeping up with one in good running order.

In fact a friend of mine has a 2001 Boxster S and to his disgust, I can keep up with him. He spent a fortune recently replacing spark plugs etc. etc. as he assumed his must be down on power but I still keep up or he doesn't have enough grunt to overtake me if I'm in front. 2.7L engine is often overlooked but I think it's a cracker.
