Just bought my 2006 Boxster S

[IowaS]

I agree with Mach Schnell that a base model in capable hands would keep up with an S...however when I purchansed my 2000 S, I also drove a 2003 base immediately after I drove the S. My opinion walking away is that the S is much more fun to drive in daily situations than the base simply because it seemed to have more low end torque. I am saying this without actually comparing the numbers...
