As a recent (2 weeks ago) purchaser of a 2001 Boxster S, I had considered the SLK, and specifically the SLK 32 AMG. I believe the Benz would outrun the Porsche, but would not out-corner or out-brake it. While my daily drive involves more straight-line than curves, I still wanted a car that handled very well.
I was also considering a Porsche 550 spyder replica or a Shelby Cobra replica -- both of those can be had for less money than the Boxster S (I would have kept my Toyota Matrix for a daily driver). I think those are two of the coolest looking cars around, especially the Cobra -- perfect for beach cruising and canyon drives in So Cal. (My top is down 90% the time.)
The Boxster won out --as a modern rendition of the 550. It's the best looking Porsche in my opinion. So far, the performance has been all that I hoped for and I don't personally have a desire for more straight-line speed.
