S2000 except for the mid-engine balance but it's still easily as capable in the handling dept as a Boxster and cheaper!

 

i meant to leave you a comment before..... I want to say you are very privilege to drive a porsche at 16yrs old, i wish i had one at that age, my first was a 325i 4door bmw black i will never forget it, i was the MAN in school. Do your thing, stay in school.......

 

Had an S2000 for 40K miles with mods. Great car and less than half the price of my RS60 and less than half the car.

Little comparison really. The RS 60 has way more torque and a lot quicker acceleration. The S2000 needed new coil overs to get the car to stay settled on a lot of our undulating mountain roads.

The RS 60 has sport suspension and PASM so the ride is much better and the car never acts like it needs to be gathered up like the S2000 at the limit. The Boxster with weight more toward the rear breaks better and of coarse the PCCBs are out of this world compared to other breaks. The best breaks I have experienced were on a DBS, however no better than what I have on my Boxster. Boxster also rotates better due to weight distribution. I know you can state just how good the S2000 is, I know, however spend some time in a newer Boxster S with 19" wheels and then tell me what you think.

I am not sure if RS 60 is that much different but mine has a lot of the extras which add to the car like a little more power, better breaks, and sport suspension with the adjustable dampeners.

The S2000 was reliable and well made but fit and finish are another world. Like comparing a Mercedes to a Hugo.

 

so i guess its safe to say people buy boxster's more for the handling than anything else..

 

Most fun car I have ever driven. Period.

 

That, the feel and the fun.

 

I was torn between Cayman and Boxster but eventually went with Boxster...it is just too much fun to take it out on the winding Texas hill country roads with the top down. You have to experience it to understand it...

 

i could have easily bought a nice 2 year old 911 cab for the price of my loaded RS 60 - doesn't have the straight power of my old 4S but it is so fun to slide the back end around when you pin it.

sometimes i miss my back seat but the interiior is so intimate: like a little jet fighter ****pit.

 

why ? oh i guess for all the wrong reasons...cuz if they would give me back 95 % of what i paid i would return this snail....its very well made but it has the power of a 6 cyl. vw bug

 

What year and model. I don't have the same issue. I think mine is at about 0 to 60 in under 5 and to 100 in 11 to 12. Engine is rated at 303 hp.

While I would like a little more power, I was chasing an 09 C2S and he was only pulling me a little on the straights and I would eat him up in the turns. I am pretty sure the RS350 kit will get me real close in acceleration to that same car.

 

09 2.9 auto

 

Understand, I think the S would have been a bit more to your liking, however more costly.

 

even with 50 more hp this dog still wouldnt hunt

 

You can always send it to Ruf. If that isn't enough you need to look for something else.

Maybe a Z06 is more your style. The 500 hp mustang is no faster to 60 than my RS60 so not sure why you need so much more.

09 Boxster S with PDK recorded a time of 4.1 to 60. That is super car territory.

 

that is funny.... you seem mad....lolhila rious
