As I had soon realized, it's amazing how a vehicle that is 17-18 years old still hangs with all these new sports cars. Someone knew what they were doing back in the eighties when our cars were being built .

They sure are. Most people just lump anything pre-C5 together as being slow. Big mistake on their part.

Thanks. You should hold your own with M3's and the Boxter. The C5 just has a bit too much power. Keep up the good work!

Most older Boxsters have wimpy motors. The M3 is a bit better. Just watch out for those 745s, especially a black one, driven by my foxy RE agent wife! She likes to demonstrate the 0-60 capability, which is under 7 seconds.

Nice, at last, to not worry about not having enough power. My pal, with similar setup has embarrased Vipers, TurboCarreras and Ferraris, plus one C-5. My car runs better than his and I have surprised (beaten) one super bike and lost to another. I eagerly await new 'shoes', as these BFGs have been spun hardened and naturally aged.

Enjoyed the post, thoroughly.

You're just ahead of the game wannavette. BMW is actually going to call the M version of the new "3" series and M4. Apparently the even numbered series will be the two door versions. (M6 for example) Remember the 8 series are all two doors as well. Very forward in your thinking you are!
