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) Attached image(s)

Please don't get me wrong, there is nothing "wrong" with a boxster. We were not comparing boxsters to 911s, we were comparing the lap time of a boxster S to the lap time of a new 997 around the ring. I don't want anyone to read more into it than that.
I stated my opinion that based on the track layout of the ring, and the power advantage of the 997, and the refinement of the 997, I seriously doubted the boxster S could lap the ring quicker than the 997. I do remember reading that the cayanne turbo lapped the ring faster than a boxster S, but i wasn't there and so I regard that as heresay. |
