The 911 is the 997 model. Not the Boxster.Boxster and 911, two different cars.It's like saying the current Focus is a BF model.

Me for 1...It is a better balanced car as it is mid mounted as opposed to rear mounted and will be quicker than a 911 carrera through a fairly tight circuit. It is lighter, takes advantage of it's huge brakes and has a higher entry corner speed than a 911. Bet you didn't know that! It is also a lot cheaper and the 987 model is not too far behind the 911 in terms of options and features...I will say this though. I think the Boxster is a young man's car....not for old blokes going bald. That is why they built the Cayman with the permanent roof. Older blokes should be in a 911 or cayman.And I don't care how much you spend on the T's handling.....spend a million if you like...it will never even get close handling wise.......you can't deny physics.....
