Edevlin: Yeah, I was thinking of someone w/ a 987 could test, though. Preferably not an '07 as they are a little different. I haven't seen anyone here, though, w/ an '07.
I will extend my offer to
any of you guys that want a drive, 987 or not. It doesn't bother me one bit.
Porsch986: You're right! I know all of us Boxster dudes know about the little dead spot @ around 2k rpm in 2nd gear? Yeah, that will kill you in auto-x when coming out of those 'S' turns that you have to slow down for.
I leave it 2nd gear the whole time and it pulls magnificently

(of course, I start in 1st)
