Default Boxster or Z4??

Lately it has been bothering me. I have seen several comparsions of these two cars. None seem to be consistent about the winning car. What is your opinion? Personally I like both(leaning towards Porsche).

how the hell do you figure that?

S2000? S2000 may take a boxster by a little around the track, but on the streets the boxster has far more applicable performance.

It has much better steering and is far more comfortable than a Z4.

Also far sexier and less bangled.

And no S2000 is coming close to blowing my Boxster S out of the water. Period.

I'm not just talking about winning the overall comparo (which the S2000 did in C&D) -- I am talking about quickest lap times.. I know the C&D test was done at beaver run near pittsburgh (where i grew up).. It's a fast track with some great, tight little curves...and S2000 was the fastest thing around the track (test was Honda, porsche, nissan, z4 and TT turbo). It also was the quickest to 60 if my mind serves me correctly. Did the boxster in the motor trend comparo beat the honda and nissan around the track ? or did it just win the overall comparo... ? (which would have to do with interior design and refinement and passenger space etc etc etc.)

sure, S2000 is faster around the track than a straight up boxster.

it's just not as driveable a car around town, it is a better track car. It's a trade off.

I think a lot comes down to the driver. I think about a year ago there was a test between a Boxster and a S2000 on a Euro Car and Driver type show. Any way, I am pretty sure the Boxster was the leading car on the street driving and on the track, I am not too sure about the 0-60 or 1/4mile though
