If the boxster is such a crappy Porsche sports car why is it superior to the 911 when given the same engine?------------------

Water cooled is a superior design you bone head. It's more efficient. If not then explain why most (or is it even all) their race cars had water cooled heads? quote:

Ever since the power left the Porsche family, the management has gone to broad market appeal and lost everything that once was porsche. Look at the new 996, is that a Porsche? HELL NO! Water-cooled, c'mon! Old 911s are notorious for their tail-swinging handling. Now Porsche has gone and taken all traces of the old Porsches out and even put in a little (gulp) understeer. Although financially Porsche has not gone under and is far from it, they have gone through a downfall as a historic company. Has anybody read some of the articles about the new Turbo? They're always talkin bout how easy it is to drive. That is not what a Porsche Turbo is about. What really disgusts me is they've cut their LeMans funding for the Cayenne. I want Ferry to go back and take control. Or, even Ferdinand Piech could take control (he is, after all, Ferry's nephew, as well as the race-department head in the 70's. Those were the golden ages of Porsche racing, especially the 917/30. Wouldn't you like to see Porsche go back to its roots?)

The Boxster is a worthless Porsche, it's slow and way overpriced. It also looks kind of odd to me, but the technology is good, just b/c it's a Porsche.------------------
