A guy asked me the other day what the engine was in my Boxster, and I said a flat 6 with a grin on my face. Try that while saying flat 4, it doesn't work.Then you get to the sound, well I rather have that car with a less powerful 6 than that 4. Performance isn't a problem even in my 2.7, in fact it's enjoyable thrashing it. How much of the 718s performance could you really use on public roads. I'm not sure.
