on german TV there was a car magazine today, they tested the current versions from
Porsche Boxster S vs. Mercedes SLK 350

no surprize, the Boxster was the winner

then, they drove both cars on the German Formula 1 Circuit "Hockenheimring"
the Boxster was about 3 sec faster than the SLK
at this point the moderator told, that the lap time was even better than from the 911 Carrera (997) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/clap.gif)

one more proof that mid engine is better (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif)

not only on twisty roads (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/happy11.gif)

As a Boxster (986) owner and a 914 owner I have no doubt that on the right road or track the Boxster and 914 have an advantage over certain 911s. I have seen plenty of 914s whip up on 911s at the track and I am sure the Boxster is way more than capable. Throw in one or two large straights or a really savy tail-dragger driver and things change in a hurr but under the right conditions the 911 is defeatable.
