Wow...can't even read through all the arguments before I decide to post.

IMO, the boxster is a better convertible sportscar than any 911 cab. As far as comparing the boxster to the 911 coupe, lets wait until the boxster coupe comes out.

A poor man's 911....whatever makes people happy. Personally, I buy the car. Not the brand, nor the image. So label it anyway you want. I drive a G35, and my wife recently purchased the 987.

The most important element on the track is probably the driver. I remember keeping up with a 911 at Laguna Seca in my Civic during my college years.....
