The BoX S 05 onwards i.e. '987' model leaves the S behind.
The 2.7 against a non VSA S2000 is also very strong on the twisties.

Drove both types as well as the Cayman (which felt more planted even with traction control off).

I like the 987 a lot. But i like the S2K a lot too.

I have driven a Boxter S and obviously an S2000... and the S2000 is a far more exciting drive... it felt like the S was considerably quicker than the boxter!

Still a nice car though
The S2000 feels about twice as fast as it really is!

That's why it's a bit addictive.

Jap performance. Think I've still got that issue someplace.

Anything with stability control On wont be either so much fun, nor as quick as with it turned off.

(Assuming one can drive it)
