    Porsche Boxster S

    Has anyone gone up against one of these with a rolling start? I am curious as I had an 'interesting' run against one of these and was pleasantly surprised. Bear in mind that it was very cold that night, I have a front mount and Seb2 setup with 15's. His passenger had her mouth wide open when we finally pulled up.

    SEB 2 vs Standard Boxster is pretty even in a straight line

    Not sure about the Boxster S though

    The thing was that I pushed past him and then floored it staying in the middle lane fully expetcting him to overtake no problem. All I did see was his rear lights staying at the same distance until we came to some lights where his bigger brakes helped him overtake at the lights.

    Boxster S has 200bhp/ton (or 210bhp/ton for the 05+) which makes them pretty nippy. Easily quick enough to see off a SEB2 Punto, 0-100 in ~13.5s which is also comfortably faster than a 4.11 Punto.

    I would suggest he either wasn't trying too hard (like didn't change down at all) or it was a standard Boxster badged up to look like an S.

    Standard Boxster is fairly equal, you'd win perhaps.

    Boxster S and he really wasn't trying I'm afraid, should be seeing you off reasonably comfortably - especially above 60.

    Fair enough. I recognised the driver when we stopped and know him to have a healthy pocket than healthy driving skills.
