@ampark09 The Boxsters have the same size engines as the Caymans, and there have been examples of each that have received bigger, more powerful 911 engine swaps while retaining excellent chassis dynamics.

@shiyonage ^idiot. the boxster could never handle an engine the size of a 911's. that's part of the reason the chassis works so well, bc it's got a small engine crammed in there. they couldnt fit anything bigger. they did however do that for the cayman though.

Porche has been humiliated by BMW. No possible comparison.

@dantae666 Well of course the Z3M has higher BHP than the Z4 standard, that's what the M represents. On the other hand the Z4M has more power than the Z3M. Duh. :) I have have a 3.0 Z4 almost identical to the one in this vid- 231 BHP which by today's standards isn't all that and if I'm honest I'd like more but it's certainly not 'awful', still quicker than about 95% of other cars on the road. The Porsche is the better car but much more expensive to buy and run.

Who the fuck cares? If you're the sort of person who determines the quality of a car by the name or price that it carries then you're simply not a petrol head but a badge whore...
The Boxster is a proper Porsche, and that's the end of it. :D

@shiyonage Its true! The 911 is such a fantastic top car for Porsche that they wouldn't want to outclass it because it would ruin many years of development and marketing! Although I prefer the 911 the boxster really is a fabulous car, it could be a hell of a lot faster but like the cayman the 911 is what stops it!

These two are so much more fun to watch drive that Clarkson and Co. They're more genuine, less pretentious.

agreed the bhp ratings on the z4 is awfull think the z3m is better
Honestly ....most girls don't know the difference. Even if they did they still wouldn't refuse a lift.

You are so wrong. Boxter S handles better than 911. Porsche is deliberately keeping it slower than 911 to protect 911 franchise. But Boxter S has more superior bones than 911. Test drive it and you'll know it for yourself
