My friend has a “base” 4 cylinders 270 cv boxster

He was right behind me on the curvier sections, I was a bit ahead on the longer straight, but clearly not by a huge margin.
I drove the Cayman GTS 4 cylinders in Germany 3 years ago… can’t recall much difference in pure performance but the sound is not in the same league… I remember finding the 4 cyl too loud inside the cabin while I wished for a few more decibels with the 6 cyl

Sharky and deman both get the gears from guard. Deman has a proprietary 2nd gear ratio I think. Hollinger makes gears but only 3-6 which is great for race cars that can use the long 2nd gear in the track.
Sounds great!

Any Porsche sounds like a great product to me. From Macan/Cayenne to Boxster/Cayman to 911 to Taycan, every one is a great product!
Beautiful photos, what a lovely drive.

In all honesty, for real world/road use the turbo 4-cylinder version of the Boxster is actually a more enjoyable car to drive. I'll admit I own one so I may be biased, but even the 4 cylinder is far more power than you're able to use on the road if you wa...
