Sure it was an S? The normal Box should be easy meat, but the S will be very close to a Scoob. I've played with one myself and was able to close in him at will - but mine ain't exactly standard either

Hey Brun I am sure youw ere asking about LEDs for sidelights. I got the PIAA ones and they are absolutely cracking mate much better than the standard bulbs. Only down side is they show your headlights up. I thought all boxsters were easy pray. As most porsche drivers dont know how to drive LOL ( TONGUE IN CHEEK)

I used to have a boxster s and in my opinion if you were on a straight road i.e dualcarriageway or motorway the boxster s should have left you pretty easy (depending how fast you are prepared to push it of course) but round your b roads a different kettle of fish. Close one to call but the engine sound when you accelerate hard in a boxster is a wonderful thing to hear.

If your car is standard then an s should be a bit quicker in a straight line
