No one buys a boxster for straight line speed simply not what its about :ah: the power arguments are invalid. The question here is does your friend want a high power sport sedan or a well handling roadster, both excel in diffrent areas because they are different kinds of cars. Can you really complain that it takes the same time as a honda accord to do a quarter mile when you get to hear a flat six the whole way their? Can you really complain that you own a car that you can actually drive spiritedly on the road without putting yourself 50 over the speed limit. All while enjoying top down motoring at its best while you hear the engine from the drivers side air intake, as you pass a long white picket fence beside a winding road you hear the engine echo back to you off of each individual fence post, the echo growing faster as you press harder onto the accelerator.
