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)

Cayenne turbo and Boxster S are about the same in 'Ring lap times.

I really wonder if this could be true (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/idea.gif)

unfortunately I didn't test 'em in person (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) , but:
Cayenne Turbo: 450 PS / about 5,000 lbs / 266 km/h top speed (166,25 mph)
Boxster S: 280 PS / about 3,000 lbs / 268 km/h top speed (167,5 mph)

I can't believe, that they need about the same time for this circuit - it's about 2,860 miles long

anyway, never say never (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)
