Street racing, who has done it?

The fact a small displacement NA six cylinder car keeps with 5.0 and larger v8s (not to mention from in many cases 5 or more years newer cars) always be considered a feat and something to be quite proud of about our cars.

Curb weight difference. Back seats, big ol hood, etc.....

The feel of a 5.0+ off the line is impressive. Love that rumble of HP.

Oh I do totally agree if I wanted a car for that I would never choose the boxster, never recommends it for someone looking for that. It is just good to know the car is fairly well rounded.
