I don't think that hwy drag race is any sort of idiotic act. Truth is at the age of 25, I have done numerous amount of track event over the past 6 years that I m still very in love with hwy drag race. It is just a different kind of fun. I know that the Boxster S isn't a drag car, but it is still fun to race with other cars in the straight.

As for Japanese vs German build quality, i have to say Japanese cars are better build in terms of reliability. Sure the German have leather here and there and it makes everything look nice, but Japanese car are so damn reliable and hard to break down. We have 2 Porsches at home and 2 Jap cars and they are just so damn reliable. I know a few friends that have Cayenne and X5 and i heard lots of electric problems that they encounter or other sort of problems. Where as my 4runner ltd just keep on running and running even at 270,000km on it. Not a single problem, no electric failure and no mechanical failure as well. I will have to say Japanese over German for build quality.

Highway drag racing is illegal and puts yourself and others in danger.

What about that is "fun" to you?

Grow up and stick to the track.

Yes, I used to do this kind of thing when I was very young and lacked maturity. But, hey, I grew up and learned how to make sound decisions, spell correctly, and other useful things.

Perhaps you should try that instead of street racing?

Now, track racing is always available.

Forgive me for keeping this post on target, but I think an S2k would get spanked by a Boxster S. Even a 2.7 can pull away from the Honda at highway speeds.

Yes the 2.7L does pull away from an S2k at highway speeds...I've had first hand experience

Here's some second gear acceleration #s. There's no contest.

Just don't try it with a Subaru Forester Turbo.
