the boxster did look a lot smoother

 

Boxter had more to give... he was driving it well within it's envelope..if you'd seen a few "tail out" moments I'd have said he was pushing hard... not so sure about the Impreza mind u..he looked like he had a handful all the way round.... quick when it was straight though...

 

Daz we have a MY06 Boxster 2.7 and believe me my MY07 STi (360 bhp) would destroy it in a straight line.

However this is the big one, the Boxster is a fantastic handling car so in the hands of a good driver it could easily keep up with a Standard STi in the twisties and if the STi driver was lacking in the driving department could even cause some embarrassment.

(Still know what I'd rather drive home in though)

 

or have both

 

Oh how people like you make me laugh. you can't even spell it right.

It's a Boxster

Maybe one day I could afford a 911

 

YouTube - subaru wrx sti vs boxter tt

 

the 350 bhp vs boxster... The STi wins simple... To say oh it's the driver then thats the same as saying a clio in the right hands will win (and that is true) both cars driven by the stig, the STi wins...... Thats the fastest car....

 

B O X S T E R !

 

nothing wrong with boxsters IMO

 

i rinced a caymen once in my sti

 

Cayman.

 

Is it me or is spelling one of the biggest causes for argument on here at the moment? It's not a spelling test!!

 

Indeed. Let's lighten-up...

 

I have a 360bhp STi, one of those big ol' fat newage ones too. My mate has a 3.2 Boxster (S I think?). We recently had a drive up to Kielder from Newcastle... he couldn't keep up with me on the straights of the A69 and the military road (an old straight Roman road) and he couldn't stay in touch in the twisty country roads of Kielder either. He is a capable driver, I am ok but nothing special.

Over rated and over priced IMHO... unlike the 911 which is just over priced (I'd love one!).

EDIT: I should point out we were not breaking any laws of the road. That would just be naughty.

 

....or both lol

Just go out some nght and smoke him, then have another 'chat' with him in the pub some night and see what he thinks

 

pmsl.................

 

cayman caymen, who cares he still got shown up.

 

Ah ok mate

 

All this pub talk and not a beer or peanut in sight. What is this world coming to?

Simple way of answering this... Call the guy out and settle it once and for all.

 

Better still why risk each others or anyone elses lives?

Easier way to settle this.

Both go in the toilet in the pub whip it out and compare! Smallest buys the beers

 

Would you risk whipping it out in the toilet with a stereotypical Boxster owner?

 

I'm sure the Boxster owner would be more worried of a stereotypical Subaru owner.

 

dunno, a group of us were all over a boxter in the peaks a few months back, well untill he broke it anyway lol

 

G A Y S T E R !

 

Ok what i will say is this, When road conditions start to suffer. i.e. bumpy roads, potholes, wet weather, then a Boxster owner would really struggle against an AWD car like a Scooby or an EVO, Mine had more punch out of corners than my buddies Boxster and he even admitted on crappy roads he would not stand a chance, however outright grip and handling on smoother drier roads then it would shine.

Come on chaps - how can you say this looks gay!!!!




I love the looks and i'm neither a hairdresser or gay - or at least i dont think i am

 

So a Boxster is only close to an Impreza on a track... not much use really. Agreed they are always going to be better looking than a saloon.

 

My old Cayman handled like a sports car .. ie: Go Cart responsiveness with grip till your ribs ached, and the harder up push it the more grip it generated..... my STI's (both my 2003 and 2008) handle like family saloons with harder suspension and fat tyres....ie: great to a point...but then found lacking in front end feel and not painted to the road like the Porker when really pushed hard..

The Boxster is not as good as the Cayman no....but it's still plenty stiff enough to out handle an STI... it's just down to the driver believing it can and will do it...

I've been taken round Kemble air strip in a Boxster by a professional racing driver... and it went round some of the 90 deg corners way quicker than I'd have thought..without even a tyre squeek.... the chassis is truely amasing.

 

Not just a track, smoother roads and once rolling imo faster, but a lot of variables here like i said.

Both cars have totally different characters, the Scoob a point to point weapon that is practical, the Porker a Sportscar with a soundtrack to die for and great on sunny days.

Hell if i could afford it i'd by both.
