I had my car chipped this week and figured I'd tear it up to see what it could do yesterday. I convinced my friend to take out his 03 Boxster and we tore it up for a little bit. Didn't get any stop lights side to side, however, we had tons of fun and I definitely got to see just how much the ecu chip did.
I kept up with him no problem. I think in a drag, I could probably beat him...It would depend on my shifting. There was one stop sign that we got up to where it was a clear path, and we both punched it at about the same time. I feel like I was creeping up to him in 3rd gear.
So, speed wise I feel like we're about even. However, handling wise it really isn't THAT comparable. I certainly held my own and kept up (we were doing ridiculously high speeds on pretty good 30-45 degree curves/turns), but there was one where I almost lost control, and the Porsche really had no problems. It's mid engine really gives it great agility.
Just thought I'd share that quick story with you guys...
