I haven't watched the vid yet but I am looking forward to it. Tiff is a great driver and I love watching him drive the boxster to its full potential. Tiff and the folks at 5th gear love the boxster. It's nice to see a program like 5th gear where the people like Tiff actually do the commentary on the car as well test it on the track(unlike Top gear where the Stig is a totall mute). Clarkson may know cars and have more whit but he can't drive a car on a track....which is why Tiff is the better journalist. I watch Top Gear if I want entertainment and I watch 5th gear if I want a "real" drivers perspective.

WOW! Wish I could drive like that. Both cars were awesome to watch. The porsche does seem more controlled and refine. But the Zed seemed to have a little more of a 0-62kmph punch!

Thanks for the video! Hope there are more to come!

Here's another shootout with a 2.7L boxster vs a S2000 and Z4 courtesy of top gear.
