330Cic vs. porsche boxster!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[gang$tarr]

the only boxster i ever see sold is the 2.5 one, that's on the web site

[F20C]

Not to put you down or anything. But Porsche up the displacement since 2000 model year. It makes no sense Porsche would forget to update their page.

[gang$tarr]

i just took the info of the web page... and since it's the official Porsche web site, i trust it

[F20C]

Why wouldn't porsche put the most update information on their web page? Which web page have you been looking at? Also are you sure it says 2.5L not 2.7L?

[gang$tarr]

i just went to www.porsche.com... clicked on boxster than stats, and that's what it gave me

[F20C]

Exactly from Porsche.

The 2.7-litre Boxster engine develops a total of 162 kW (220 bhp) of power. Maximum torque of 260 Nm is available from as low as 4,750 rpm. The results are outstanding driveability, torque and cylinder charging, as well as extremely smooth running characteristics. 0 to 100 km/h takes just 6.6 seconds, while top speed with a manual gearbox is 250 km/h.

[gang$tarr]

yup that's right, but the 6.6 is for the manual, i wrote for the auto

[F20C]

Earlier you said Porsche still uses the 2.5L Boxter stats. In fact those stats were for 2.7L Boxter.

[gang$tarr]

i don't think i said that porsche uses the 2.5 stats..... didn't i say that i don't know which one it is, i just said it's off the porsche web site

i think

I think I have a solution to this problem. Get that guy who made the M3 for Need for Speed to make the two cars in question. Run them in the quarter on the game on a time trial. There ya go.
Unless someone here has 5,000 times the cashflow I have and happens to own both these vehicles?

I've just spent a weekend with all the new Porsches, and the Boxster is indeed fast (slow compared to the others, but still fast). First of all, Porsche claims 6.6 for 0-62, typically getting to 62 adds about .1 sec over 60. Also, Porsche claims are always the most conservative possible. If Chevy claims 375 hp for the Vette, some will have 375, some will have 365, and some will have 385 (same with every car). But if Porsche claims 217 hp for the Boxster, 217 is the absolute minimum hp the car will have. 0-60 claims are always very conservative, a regular Boxster will actually run about 6.1 - 6.4 to 60.

BTW, all new Boxsters are 2.7 L (with the exception of the S, 3.2L)

well i guess i'm a crack head....

the stats i got are still official for the 2.7 then, for the auto 0-60mph 7.4s

the reason i'm sayin auto is because it could have been.... then it would have been a quite easy kill

[Heep]

Yeah, an auto would actually be about 7.0-7.2, but like you say still an easy kill.

I think a Boxter would win. Perhaps he left on his traction control, or you got the jump. Thats just the way I feel. Boxters are more set up for handling, anyway.
