Default All they could muster was a 14.0 on the 1/4 with that?

Weak....

Default It'd still be great on the track though, wouldn't it?

Gives it that little extra kick of power and the superb handling is still there. I guess it depends on what he wants from the car, they're both very different.

Default If it doesn't have an "S" behind it...it's worthless.....

Even with that supercharger....

Default I thought the stock boxter s did a 14.2 quarter?

You said a boxter lacked power unless you got the S. But the S/C one is just a little bit quicker. Not to mention a S/C regular boxter is probably cheaper than a boxter S.

Default hehe. I don't think the S4 comes close at all to boxster handling

One is a mid engined 50/50 balanced car, one is a nose heavy pig.

I do agree that he should go for the S. Also, '03 models get a power bump and a glass rear window. The rear glass window is alone, worth it.

Default boy, you have an awful lot of car misconceptions.

A car that's $60K is hardly a poor man's anything.

BTW, if you really got the *****, you can drop in a 3.6l 911 engine and stuff it in there. It has been done.
