It's official...the Boxster is underpowered

[986Jim]

It was a Z06 against the 997 S. Thats not exactly a fair comparison as the 997S is more on the same level as the C6-C7 is not the Z06 model.

The new 911 GT3 makes 415whp N/A from a 3.8L motor. It would walk the Z06 around the track and did on top gear quite nicely and by a pretty large margin too. Granted their track is shorter with lap times in the 1.25's for those cars vs. around 2 seconds for Laguna Seca it was still a large margin.

The Z06 is fast yes, but honestly it's just not that impressive because they use 7L to make 500hp, that barbaric. I can make 500hp with a 20L engine and put it in a boat, that doesn't mean its a sports car. Put a Chevy's best 3.8L motor in the Vette and see what happens lol... Or let Porsche make a 7L engine and again see what happens.
