no, I mean that the Corvette generates so much torque it can be a handful when floored even with stability control, can be fun/scary. Downshifting out of a curve is interesting.
The Boxster feels more under control - it also shifts (up and down) easier.
The Corvette is very stable once at speed.

Exactly. With the Corvette the ride goes from kinda boring to kinda scary without much middle ground. In the Box I always feel like I am in control of the car instead of the other way around. It feels great at any speed... except stop and go freeway traffic. Ugh!

Well put and accurate. There's more of a progressive feel in the S. But if you're having problems deciding, do what I did...get both.

Hi,

I'm not speaking of you specifically, but that could be as much about the Driver than the Car. I mean you're talking about feeling...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99

Oh - I'll admit both cars could be driven by better than me!
