LS1s are very different from a 89 GTA 350...

Boxsters arent fast enough to wear the name "Porsche". there was this guy at my local track a few weeks ago running a new Boxster S with the ttags still on it. he was running low 14s all night. eventually, he was paired up with me, and i just blew his doors off (13.5 to his 14.3). when we got back in the staging lanes, he came right over to me and asked what i had done to my car. i explained my simple mods, and he was floored. he couldnt believe his $40000 "sportscar" was destroyed by a 13 year old Vette

I have no trouble believing a healthy 350 could beat a boxster S

You didn't say if you left a light or started from a roll.
From the info 89camaroRSV6 posted above, it looks like the S's make their power at a little higher RPM, and if Gta_Paladin was in the right part of his powerband it wouldn't be to hard of a kill.

They're light little cars, and from what I hear they handle good and run decent 1/4 times, but if he started from a roll, the lack of torque would kill the porsche. I killed a non S boxster, haven't got an S to race me yet.

Lets not confuse these things for real Porsches.

but tpi what i said was....350 aint enough to beat the boxter....the boxter weighs much less...

Curb weight Manual Tiptronic S
2855 lbs. (1295 kg) 2943 lbs. (1355 kg)

GTA paladin-roughly how much hp-tq numbers are u running???

89camaroRSV6

and for ur info

the non S boxters are 164 cui engines

makes about 215 hp with something like 200Tq

either way they are flat sixes .and mid engine rear drive cars

ummmmm... i dont really understand this statement. you say a 350 isnt enough to beat a Boxster S because it weighs less than 3000lbs? tell that to the guy i raced then i not only beat him, i destroyed him. that 13.59 that i ran against him wasnt even my best time, had he ran against one of my 13.44 runs, he REALLY would have been humiliated!

I would think a boxter S could beat a stock to lighty mod 350

and even if they did race from a roll guess what... you can downshift to put the car in it's powerband you don't have to take off from 35 at your cruising gear.... but instead drop it down to 2nd or even first if you have enough room left

hmm this is interesting, do you guys think I could beat a boxter??

look at my mods in my sig.

CrazyHawaiian

I agree ... boxters are weak!! Not even close to real porsche performance!!

I couldn't imagine spending that much money on a Porsche that isn't fast.
