I was driving to work today in the Thunderbird, when I get a teenage looking guy driving around in a brand new Porsche Boxster S. He was basically pulling next to every car on the highway, and looking over, so as to show that "Hey, I have a Boxster S, look at me!!" I hate bastards like that.

Anyway, since I was in the T-bird, no luck on a race. Hopefully I'll run into him later in the week when I bring the L to work.

Anyone ever play with one before............I've read anywhere between mid 13's to low 14's, so I guess it should be fair game??

Here is a picture that pretty much summarizes it ..



I have raced a co- worker both on the street and th strip and now he wont even try ... Too embarrased... He ran Mid 14's in his BUT he was unwillling to waste the clutch for a good launch...

Those things are no match for a stock 99 lightning. even at a roll they suck.

 

The Boxster will run 13.7's or so, but needs a good launch. I also have a '98 BMW M3 which can run 13.8-13.9's and is a bit easier to launch than a Boxster. I had no problems against my buddies 2001 Boxster S because it doesn't quite have the torque band or power band, mostly good upper rpm horse power. From a 15mph roll they move pretty good, and top out around 165mph in 6th gear. It would take a VERY good driver to run those times consistantly though....

That is me in my stock 2001 L against a stock 2001 Boxster S...

 

I never get any fun cars to play with. Even the ricers in my area don't race around like their *actually fast*

 

Did any of you guys read the mirror ?

Doug

 

What mirror? Where?

It is photoshopped - I did it some time ago to have fun with the Boxster S' owner. I bet someone here could get a mirror made that way and sell a bunch of them but I didnt ...

I saw it and was jerking your chain...
