2019 Boxster Spider Vs 2019 911 Cab S
Porsche keeping things ops normal. That track may be short but the section which should favor the Boxster is the shortest section. A 981 S versus a 991.1 S is a no brainer. No 3.4l mid engine layout is going to make up that power deficit. Sorry but anyone who doesnt have a bias will watch that video and conclude the Carrera is the better car in every respect. Just look at how much more composed it is on turn in and through the corner. And again, the comment I was responding to was that the Spyder is a higher performing sports car than the Carrera. It simply isnt. I had a 991S and a 981 Spyder at the same time, and down my favorite twisty road my Carrera was the faster, more stable, more confidence inspiring car. More power, more grip and better chassis. I prefer the Spyder, but it would lose a race to my Carrera S all day and twice on Sunday. The rear engine has its advantages! Let鈥檚 be frank, a mid engine car will handle better than a rear engine car if both cars were provided equal power and equal suspension development.
The 911 performs better than the Boxster/Cayman because Porsche spends more time developing the suspension and gives it more power. If this wasn鈥檛 a fact why wouldn鈥檛 Porsche have built the Carrera GT, 918 Spyder and the majority of their more recent race cars with a rear engine layout? Ok guys didn鈥檛 mean to create a firestorm. Think I might go with a 911. What do u guys think a used 2013 911 Carrera S Cab with 13k on the clock is worth? Original msrp 144k. Not cpo. Ok guys didnt mean to create a firestorm.

In 2 days I'll have both. The 991.1S Cab is my favorite car. Period. But I think I am going to like driving my 987.2s more. Ok guys didnt mean to create a firestorm.

Not cpo. 991 cab will feel like a boat on backroads compared to any Boxster especially 987 which will feel wrapped around you like a tight track suit in comparison. Boxster looks much better than any 911 cab. It鈥檚 the Porsche convertible to get. No one cares which is faster on backroads. Your lunch, coffee, or friends will be there whenever you arrive. I love my 996 GT3 but would never choose it as a convertible. If you couldn鈥檛 care less about Porsche marketing (Kool Aid) and about signalling success and manliness, get a Boxster.

More power, more grip and better chassis. I prefer the Spyder, but it would lose a race to my Carrera S all day and twice on Sunday. I also had a 981 Spyder. The only reason the Carrera S would best it was due to the Spyder's tall gearing, which really takes the oomph out of the car. Braking should go to the Spyder considering they are the same exact brakes and the Spyder weighs much less, but the extra rubber on the Carrera gives it a lot more friction to work with. My Spyder had PZeros, which were terrible. I often wonder with better rubber would the Spyder grip like you would expect it to. Mine had a lot of trouble with grip but then again I live in a State with relatively slick roads. My GT4 has Michelin Cup 2s and PCCB and will out perform my 991.2 4S except in a drag race.
