What is the weight of the Porsche Boxster in comparison to the 914 and what size engines were available in them? Were there any quirks about the car that a person looking to buy one should be aware of?

I've ridden in a Boxster at an AX. My impression was good acceleration (little better than my SC), and fantastic breaking compared to my stock 911SC. I think the Boxster has better gearing for it's engine than my SC. The 1st to 2nd shift in the SC is slow and long. Boxsters are probably dancing between 2nd and 3rd on the same course where I stay in 2nd. Also, the Boxster could go way deeper into corners than my SC with it's breaking system.
With a 700 pound weigh advantage but a 30hp+ disadvantage I often beat lots of stockish Boxsters in my SC but I can't catch the best drivers but I'm usually really close to their times. |
