When did i say it didn't handle? Don't put words in my mouth. All i objected to was you saying it wasnt made for rapid acceleration and speed.

If anything, your statement applied a million times more to the Boxster. That's why it's mid-engined (like a pure sports car, perfect balance), and had only 204BHP for the first few years. The desired (and achieved) result: fast car, truly outstanding handling

as for the 959, it was designed to break records. Yes, it was made for grip and handling, but i think the emphasis was just as much on how fast it went.

cheers
