Re: 500hp Boxster S
They reviewed this car a few months ago in the Motor magazine here in Australia. Can't put my hands on it now but I remember being in awe over it.
Some specs from the sale advertisement are:
--Twin Turbo Boxster S --
- 3.6L twin turbo
- 375 kw
- 600 Nm
- 0 to 100 = 3.8 sec.

If you get a chance to get your hands on the magazine's article I would appreciate if you could post some key findings over here (primarily regarding handling/traction).
From other reviews about heavily modded Boxsters I remember that of course it's easy to improve straightline performance transplanting a bigger engine but that it's way more difficult to improve laptimes on the track (handling/traction).
So the question is how such a monster Boxster can be compared to a Carrera with similar hp (knowing that the Carrera has the edge in terms of traction, whereas the midengined Boxster has some inherent handling advantages).
Anyway, the claimed 0-100 time is in 997 TT-land
The fact that the car has only 5,200 km on the odometer after 4 years raises some questions regarding reliabilty though
