Poor Boxster
The non S model is not fast at all in straight line acceleration, but it is highly regarded for it's handling. The numbers don't lie, 2003 Boxter 0.91g and 68.6mph in the slalom, 03 EVO 0.88g, 68.9 mph. The acceleration sucks: Boxter 0-60 6.0 and 1/4 14.6 @ 96.5. R & T 02/05.

no, they're not on crack.....they're driving one of the best sports cars ever made and like most every other automotive expert on the planet they give it a 10.

I know it's wrong, but I could never understand why anyone would buy the "entry" level models of high end brands.
