When I was in high school, my 1/4 mile time was around 54 seconds....but since then, doctors have "modded" my right knee twice.


Oh - you mean the car

A Boxster may not be the fastest car in straight line acceleration, but throw in a couple of cones to slalom and there aren't many cars that will compare - especially at the price.

The question to make us proud would have been "what are your slalom time?" On that front, we rule!

Hey PSP, I have done about 52 seconds in the 1/4 mile when in HS too! But, like you, I have had my right knee modded. That's what can happen, when you get hit by a car (hit-and-run), when jogging on the sidewalk. Oouuch!

standing 1/4 mile time for the '00/'01 250 HP 3.2L S of 13.8@101mph. Never done it myself...

I have the Gtech and ran 0-60 times, but I can't find a road long and safe enough to test 1/4 times. I plan to add some mods to the car and that's why I'm measuring the times. So far, I have the air intake and short shifter. I made 5-6 runs and my best time was 5.48, avg about 5.7. I can only achieve the results if I shift at close to/at redline. I plan to do the superchip or GIAC and the 2nd cat bypass. My goal is to get close to 280hp and cut 1/2 second off 0-60. This would be at par with a 3.4 996.

Total cost for the chip and bypass $1500.

13.5 @ 106 was done last week at the track (with a 1.9 60' and missing the shift to 3rd gear the first attempt).

I am running through the data logging and I estimate that delay cost 3/10's, so a low 13 second run will probably happen next time out.

As driven to the track, not even tire pressure changes or a burnout. Full weight car with the 3.4L.

in western north carolina the average quarter mile has about 20 hairpin turns so our top speed is around 60. However, the boxster does it better than most.

1.9 to 60ft is pretty good!
