Hello,

just purchased this from a friend, he bought it for his mum 6 years ago. 2 years ago he bought her a 2.7 boxster, do this hasn't been used much since then.

I drove the boxster for the last 2 months as his mum was ill. Z4 feels quicker and more tail happy.

Thanks

Mark

I had an afternoon in my mates Beetle S 3.2 some years ago, at the time I had a well sorted Z3M, got to be honest I found the Porker uncomfortable and twitchy, but to be fair I don't know how tired the suspension and bushes etc may have been. Wasn't as quick than the M either especially on the bendy bits but I was very used to the M and not the Porsche.

beetle lol.... I found the pdk to not be as nice as the SMG on my Z4. When you put your foot down in the boxster, there was a good 0.5 seconds whilst I thought about what you wanted, the kick down wasn't as quick. It did feel safer thou, being mid engined and the silly wide tyres.

but then my z4 has winter tyres on it still. Need to get another set of rims and some decent tyres. There's a long list of mods I want to do.
