Two runs on empty road light to light. First run - I'm in front, Boxter S (new model) From a dead stop, 0-80, I gained about 4 car lenghts. Second run - Boxter S in front (turkey did a rolling start from the light) - punched it - he got about 2-3 car lengths right off the start and I gained every bit back before we got to 80! It was fun. After the second run, he and his wife or g/f pulled up beside and we gave each other 2

Sweet! Are those S models suppose to beat the new Stangs? Are you modded?

Either way, nice kill...keep it safe on the streets though!

Boxter S is very close to the GT. Stats I found for the 2005 Boxter S: 5.2 seconds from 0-60, quarter mile in 13.6 at 104 mph. I'm smiling .

And I have an Auto 100% stock If we went the 1/4, he may have beat me - but I don't know. I was really made up the distance fast when he did the rolling start and we shut down around 80. He got me a bit there because I thought he was going to nail it at take off, and he didn't, so I let off and then heard him punch it! But to no avail for him

I got the info below from Motorweek testing of the 2005 Boxter S

Engine - 3.2 liter dual overhead cam flat six
Horsepower 280
Torque 236 lb feet
0-60 mph 5.1 seconds
1/4 mile 13.7 seconds @ 102 mph
60-0 mph 122 feet

And the big difference is Weight 2,965 pounds.

A lot of people trash the Boxter S as a great handling car but slow for a Porsche - however, if you can't tell, I am very proud that my GT had the guts to handle it The new Mustang is fantastic, even without mods
