Stark9 Posted April 10, 2022 Report Share Posted April 10, 2022 As some of you may know my Mrs got a 992 last month and yes it’s an amazing car. However one thing I noticed and I never though this would be the case, I feel the Boxster is a better handling car than hers. Yes mid engine does so much for the balance of the car vs the engine on the 992 (450bhp) mounted at the back. Just the rear kicks out a bit when driving it hard round corners etc unlike my Boxster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Menoporsche Posted April 10, 2022 Report Share Posted April 10, 2022 Said before. A few here have had Boxsters and moved on to 911s. Some are happy with their 911s. Some sold them after a year or two and bought another Boxster. Horses for courses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boxer boy Posted April 13, 2022 Report Share Posted April 13, 2022 Look at Nurburgring times . Embarrassingly the boxster tends to come round a few seconds faster , driven by professionals. Balance , the mid engine thingy i am afraid .As good as the 911 suspension is nowadays you can’t defy the laws of physics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldskool Posted May 15, 2022 Report Share Posted May 15, 2022 When I did the Porsche Experience Day at Silverstone, I asked Merv the most senior instructor, who took me round, this question. He has driven all models at serious speeds. His answer “ Boxster “ with the Active suspension package. The mid engine is the jewel in the crown .

Paul P Posted May 31, 2022 Report Share Posted May 31, 2022 When the 992 was fresh local OPC offered a “drive experience day”. Porsche experience centre driver in your choice of the current models. I chose a 992 cabriolet - just because I had driven a 718 and a 718s boxster and the 992 was new during the drive (which was good fun - he taught me various ways of “communicating” with the pdk box ) - i asked him what did he drive. he said he was freelance. Did the same job for Merc as he did for Porsche and therefore had access to pretty much all their ranges. his daily driver that he did 25k miles a year in VW Passat diesel. his toy on order - 718 Cayman S with PASM. i said “close… but too much roof” but if I won a 992 I wouldn’t be tempted to sell it or give it back. i always think that box/cayman and 911 are the right answers to two different questions.

Stark9 Posted June 2, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2022 Don’t get me wrong, the 992 looks and feels amazing. Sounds amazing and the 450bhp makes it effortless. But I hold off taking corners too hard with my foot on the accelerator. I convinced myself and others told me the C2S was a better car than the C4S but I am now not sure I made the right choice….
