hi clive, nothing serious. that a griff beets any porsche boxter is not a thing to matter about. if it was an S then it would be another thing on bad roads. but please be very carefull with your "beast". porsches against tvrs that is like comparing cats with bulls ! a griff runs great on a good road and has much more torque than any boxter. but never try to follow a good driven boxter (not even speaking about a 911, and not even about built from 1993 on). you will have to loose and hopefully will survive without serios injuries !

porsches are made for high speed driving, griffs are made for cruising with about 220 km/h max. like a cobra f.e. if you really want to have a porsche for lunch then buy yourselve the new corvette.

cheers and be carefull.

Hi, I am an S owner, the porsche was sandwiched between us and he bottled out. The griff blew him away, so I let clives griff eat him for lunch. No comparison, the griff is far far superior in any department.

hi steve, that was not fair to the porsche and what S do you own (i own a tvr S1 - you own a boxter S ?). and as is allready said, the griff is faster on good roads and no boxter is as torquefull and fast as a griff. but still never compare them on a motorway or within their limits !

but funny to hear that there are griff owners around there who try to mess up with little boxters ! wrong thinking from my side. you may have hundreds of griffs in the uk, probably just another kind of "used" and "cheap" sportscar. like a nissan 300Z here in germany. sorry about that if it´s true. but however, try to mess further with the little boxters, m3s and other mass-production-cars. we need cheap spare-parts ! ha ha

Give Jerko a chance he's from Germany so English is a little broken at times and probably ten times better than our German

We Generally eat a few Boxsta's on the way down to Le Mans ( not too many twisties ) all a bit of fun and know my limits..... I hope.

My 500 leaves 911s for dead never mind Coxksers whether it be an S or not. Mind you when I had it on a rolling road at tunit in Chorley it was pumping out 290BHP and 340 lb ft touque and is totally standard.

Mind you never raced either on a really twisty road but the Griff kills 911s and Coxsters S on everthing else.

Being half German and having owned a 928 GTS for 7 seven years in the 90s which was a fantastic car i ain't no Porker hater either.

I'm afraid I'll have to agree with Jerko here, on twisty, not so great roads you would have to be a better driver to take a Boxter S. On good roads, no contest.

911 and possibly it would be closer.

Why all of this comparison between porsche and the griff? the porsche driver was educated on the power of the griff, it was a case of he tailgated the griff and couldn`t keep up when the loud pedal was squeezed. No contest, of course it was straight and the griff just pulled away, now if it was on a road with twists and corners then driver ability is to be taken into account, but give me a tiv anyday after all {flag waving} it`s british.
