Just to be clear. This is a 2007-08 limited edition Boxster RS60 although Badge on the trunk says"Boxster S".The door sills and number plate inside the car distinguish it with the "RS60". 3.4 liter engine and makes 303 hp. Its also part of the 987.1 model series.
In 2009-2010 Porsche came out with 987.2 model series with 3.4 liter 310 hp Boxster S. The official "Spyder" badge is only for special lightweight boxsters with 320 hp, special rear trunk lid, and manual canopy top.
That looked like a fun drive. Were you guys just doing one of those track tours like they do at VIR? During the lunch hour there at some events they let us take our street cars out and run around. Oh, and what track is this anyways?
If I were behind the wheel of that Boxster, I'd have been right up on those V8's arse. The Boxster Spyder is regarded by many Porsche purists as possibly one of the greatest Porsche's ever made. Steering is described as "pornographic" in how much it shows the road to you. Porsche make the greatest "drivers" cars of all time without question. Even the Carrera GT had basically NO drivers aids and computer assistance like a Nissan GTR etc has. It's pure unadulterated sports car at it's best.
@1969MustangMACH1 it is not boxster spyder...but maybe you mean spyder as a open top sport car, boxster name already mean that this is open top sport car...it stands for boxer roadster...roadster mean 2 seat open top sport car

@Gentle666Pilot yes it is, a simple hint, is that the dash board, i mean, where it shows the speed, and the rpm, doesnt haves the "roof", its only those 3 circles
That was freakin AWESOME, Kevin! What was this? You got to go on a track day ya lucky bastard!! Boxster is "the Poor Man's Porsche" as they say and its way outclassed by the BM'er and the Audi, but it is still a Porsche (which makes me go oOoOo when I see it)
hahahha i always considered this and the 914 the poor mans porsche for the 914 had a volkswagon engine. But yeah this thing really threw me back in the seat and produced some G's thru the corners. Lots of fun for sure.
914?! Thats way before our time. I, personally, wouldn't consider any model Porsche a "poor man's car" just due to the fact they cost a small fortune to properly maintain. The Boxster, people refer to as "The Poor man's Porsche" because its the bottom of the range Porsche. I'd love to own "The Poor man's Porsche" myself. =0)
haha yeah my uncle had a 914 and regreted it...he said it had a sloppy gear box, and wasn't fast enough for the price tag lol. But i hear you, if i were to get a porsche i would for sure get a 70's or 80's 911. best value for the money. They are fast, small, nimble and still kick ass!
Hey, I had a '72 - 914 in 1973. Lots of fun, cornered great, not a lot or power, but could still get to the 100's (eventually). Ended up selling it to buy a used '69 Z28 in '74.
Wow Kevin nice ride and a nice privledge to be able to ride shotgun during this race great job. Heck even the guy bouncing the car off the rev limmiter in the beginning didn't really hurt his take off!
Yeah it's so much fun! It doesn't look all that fast in the video but you can't experience the G's or hear the tires screeching or be thrown back in your seat just by watching the video. IT was FUN! lol, and in a 5/8 of a mile straight these cars went from 30 to 130 mph....daaaaayum lol
Thanks Jack, this is at Portland International Raceway in Portland Oregon, we all call it PIR. And the cars are from Carrera Motors, an exotic car dealership out of Bend Oregon....about 4 hours south from where this was filmed.
