Comparisons

I have a ‘95 Carrera RS clone (in all ways but engine and seats).
It has no catalyst (x-pipe in its place) and has empty stock muffler cans, special shift gear (‘goldenrod’ from FDP Motorsports). It has the RS clutch and light flywheel, PSS10 coilovers. It is a tight responsive hoot to drive, but is just too cosmetically nice to track. The harder you drive it the better it gets.

I just bought a ‘02 Boxster S. It is having the second grear detent done, and returning to OEM shift linkage. I dont mind a longer throw, a 996 I had was fine in that regard.
The Boxster S has an urgent feel to it, as in ‘I was not made to cruise around, push me!’

Both cars just beg to be driven, the Boxster feels a bit more composed and balanced, and ‘smooth’ and I love them both. I have the best of ‘affordable’ aircooled (as i bought it 10 years ago before the prices started steeply climbing) and watercooled goodness, as well as a truly modern Porsche, a Macan GTS, definitely not a sportscar, but a fine, composed and powerful vehicle.
