I currently own a black on black s2000, and
previously owned a 1999 boxster (which my brother owns now).
Both cars are awesome. But I would have to say I like
the s2000 a little better.<br>The only things I liked
better about the boxster was the radio (although not
that greatest, it was still better than the s2000),
the convertible top, both the materials they are made
out of and the way they fold down (s2000 requires a
boot to look good), the storage space was close to
equal (although the Porsche had a lot more space, you
couldn?t fit two sets of golf clubs in the car, with a
little work the s2000 could. Everything else I like the
s2000 better.<br>It accelerates better (can beet a
boxster by 1/2 car to 40mph, by 2 cars to 80mph, and 4+
cars to 120mph. With a good start the car can beat a
91-96 vette to 80, and is about a 1/2 car length back
by 120.<br>Handling is very close, both handle
awesome, but the s2000 feels better.<br>Braking again is
similar, and again s2000 just feels better.<br>Overall
ride, once again both are similar. Both handle Michigan
roads quite well, and both feel solid. S2000 rides a
little smoother, but feels a little light in the back
end when you hit a bump.<br>Engine, Both are awesome,
but you just have to love a 9000 rpm redline. The
s2000 just pulls a lot harder than the Porsche at all
speeds. The lack of torque is not bad at all.<br>The only
real dislike I have with the s2000 is the noise the
transmission makes in the 2-4k rpm range when you decelerate
using the engine. Very annoying and needs to be
addressed. I thought something was wrong with my car, but
after taking it to the dealer and driving another s2000
I found out that it is normal. Oh yeah one more
thing, the shifter is unbelievable. The throws are so
short and smooth its crazy. I had a short throw shifter
in my 94 supra turbo, and the s2000 shift just dusts
it. Honestly, that?s probably one of the reasons why
I bought the car. For those interested in the s2000
it?s a great car, you won?t be disappointed. Wind
noise is no worse then any other car, engine noise is
also not that bad, equal to a Porsche going 70 and
maybe a little louder going 85. The radio isn?t that
bad. Standing still it sounds decent, going 40 it is
not too bad, you just can?t hear it from 55
on.<br>All in all it?s a great car. IF ANYONE IS LOOKING TO
BUY ONE IM SELLING MINE FOR 31,700. ITS PERFECT, AND
HAS 14,000 MILES ON IT. Email me at
