The boxster will easily stay with a stock to lightly modded z32 in the corners if not leave it not to mention it's superior braking ability and balance--I know it may seem underpowered but people thought the same thing about the 944 and it was labeled the best handling car in the world in it's day--power is nothing without finesse! Porsche makes one of the best all-around sports cars available--they never increase horsepower without increasing braking ability and suspension settings--Sorry for this post but I love Porsches (and Z32's) and feel compelled to defend them!
