Nope, almost exactly the same really, Power slightly up, but so is weight...
Unfortunately they will never make a REALLY fast Boxster from the factory as they think it would hurt 911 sales and Porsche make ALOT more money from selling a 911 than a Boxster. Its a shame really as its Pretty easy to drop the 911 engine in as its a very similar unit just more cc's... The Mid engined layout of the Boxster is theorectically far superior to the arse out 911 as well. But fook all that, 996 GT3's make me hard
and the new 997 is sooooo sexy
