Play nice boys. We are (hopefully) all on the same team here.

Merry Christmas!

One of my neighbors in Birmingham had a 2004 Cobra with a "few" modifications. It showed 607hp on the dyno and was a daily driver. The biggest problem with it was it wouldn't / couldn't hook up the power in a consistent manner. It could smoke the tires until the cows came home but it wasn't a whole lot of fun to drive until you got it off the line and got the speed up a little. You can put as much power as you want under the hood but if the suspension isn't ready for it...good luck!

A Metro could have beat that thing in 0 to 100 feet!!!

I personally think one of the reasons so many people like the Boxster is it's consistent and predictable when you apply the gas. It doesn't get twitchy like so many other cars.

when changing my 97 boxster i actually tried a clk 320 as i like the look of it, i think it is one of the pretiest coupe on the road for a while now, unfortunately the interior was not up to scratch more like living room seat and vast space, as for the drive i pushed it in "manual" mode hard and the car decided that it would'nt do any gear change for me anymore and i had to go back in automatic to get going again, i obliviously stayed well away and bought myself my little S instead.
happy motoring
