[paulsmith]

Last friday, had a bit of fun with a porsche boxter,,not S series///,must admit i underestimated the pull off of the boxter,,,,and he nearly had me,,,,!! with this shock to the system,,,i started to wonder how quick are they....?,,of course at the next lights,,,,i was on my own,,,,!,,but it was quick..!

[paulsmith]

thats what i thought,,,!!! did surprise me,,,i guess because you know the cars that would me a match,,,or quick,,,i did nt think boxter was one of them,.,.,.!!

That about sums it up unless it was an "S"

Good man

If you do want to go "S" baiting then get a Tuscan/Cerb

[paulsmith]

i thought i could beat him in third,,,i was driving along,,he was pulling out, so he was off from first,,,,but still no excuse...i made up for it though and he backed off!!!,...

Hand brake,,,,umm i asked for that!

Maybe a little....... It's really good fun though, I'll give you a go when your about

[blueyes]

Not fast enough.... must be all that hairspray they cart around.

Of the many times I have played at Bruntingthorpe, Porsche Boxsters have never needed to be driven away on a low loader.

The poower to weight ratio of a Boxster S is similar to a 993 C2. ie quick.......

Oh, are we playing 'my willy is bigger than yours' then?

What a shame I can't join in

They're bloody car enthusiasts!! And for the ones who aren't, what's it to you anyway?

Would have gone up the straight quicker on the back of a low loader

Hey Corinne was that outburst aimed at me? If so, sorry I've just walked in from 5 hours in the pub.

Seriously, the Boxster S is a rapid car, and as an enthusiast I am down right appalled for the owners, at the number of Nobles and TVR's that have not lasted the distance hooning about at Brunters for the day.

Still think Griffs rock though, when it comes to noise driving through the twisties. Of course if you want to get from A to B quicker then 4WD porkers rock.

(Shame I can't fit in a Griff with the roof up.)

Depends what and where really. If you are "trying" then most of it comes down to the driver.

In the Griff I've easily beaten Boxsters of any ilk in a straight line, but add in some twisties and you've got a different equation. A good driver in an S (there are some *) is going to be difficult to shake.

Now, if it was the girlies Tamora against the S there would be no contest. The Tamora easily has both the handling and shove to take on an S. There is no doubt it's quicker point to point than my Girff. Just doesn't sound so nice

Just my 2p

* Footnote. Let's assume just 1% of Boxster S drivers are competent. That still means there would be about 50,000 of them on the roads.

Er not quite. They actually made some very good speeds with probably the best noise of the day. I'm just very dissappointed for the fellow enthusiasts who couldn't drive their cars home under their own steam.

Shame I missed it then, I would have loved to have heard this Boxster that sounds better than a Diablo, Tuscan, 360 etc

Er Mike I was talinging about the TVR's making the best noise. In many ways better than Tony's 118 decibal Lambo Diablo and Kevin's Cahllenge Stradale.

So your saying the TVRs made good speeds and noises?

No, not at all Daz. I was agreeing with you if anything. Don't think the 'My car's faster than yours/dad's bigger than yours' stuff that was going on before you posted enhances anyone's image.

We drive TVRs, we don't need to score points off other cars.
