LOL @ WagonRich :)

Who wins? The one who bought their car to enjoy it and enjoys driving it regardless :)

0-60 is irelevant in the real world, the 0-100 is good to see so you can then work out the 60-100 and see what really happens on the straights. Boxster's grip very very well, especially on the track and the S version, but I rememeber following one (in my Pulsar300) during an evo (forum) meet down some very twistie road and he was holding me up. Spoke to the driver afterwoods and he said the car was just a tad on the wide side for the narrow roads, and he didn't want to risk it, when there was the space though he was carry alot of speed through them.

There's a couple of seconds difference between the Boxster S and Sti upto 100 but alot of this is down to the traction off the line, so once rolling there shouldn't be a huge difference, maybe a lenth or two in favour of the Sti. I'm sure the Sti will is far better to push hard in the wet, even if I've heard the Boxster is very good in those conditions too.

Top answer from Hanslow, couldn't have put it better :)
