Boxters are slow. So's your E46.

No need to hate, and yes Boxters are slow and backwards drivable

pointing out that your car is slow != hating.

Well Matt, I just happened to point out my wife was slow making me a sandwich this afternoon, apparantly that was hating...

Unless it's a Boxster S, it's only 210 or so HP, and they are heavy, so I wouldn't put Boxstes in the fast car group. Great momentum cars though, you have to be stupid to get crossed up in a regular Boxster. The best scary fast car I've ever drove was an Porsche 914 with a built up 3.2 911 engine that was about 260 hp. 0-50 was under 5 sec! 0-60 was a little on the slow side because you had to shift twice. 2nd gear hit the rev limiter about 54 mph.

0-50 in 5 seconds is fast now?

[KaleoXtreme]

Lol! You guys crack me up with the gifs. Do you have a bunch of them saved somewhere, or do you make them on the fly?

I know what you mean about the 0-50 being fast. Those transmissions can't be shifted very quick. I bought my current 911 with a 3.6 swap for my 914. The car could probably hit 60 sub 4 seconds if the transmission could take it. light light body's and the later model 3.2's and 3.6's are great torque'y engines.

3.6 in a 911 is a fun car! Let me know if you ever want to put a 6 in your 914, I can help. That 3.2 914-6 conversion had a 901, so you had to take it easy on 1st gear.
