Not sure what that really is supposed to show me. Seems the Boxster was off apex quite a bit and had 2 people in it (likely and instructor) vs what would seem to be a similar skilled or slightly better skilled driver in a GM F-body (Camaro?). Am I missing something?

Umm, his point was that with comparable drivers the Boxster performs at least as well as a car with 75 additional HP.

If I had a video camera in my car, I could show you my 272 bhp 993 passing Ferrari 360 Challenge Stradale's, 996 GT3s, Dodge Viper ACRs, Corvette Z06s, Lamborghini Gallardo's.... it doesn't prove anything :)

You shouldn't consider this anything more than very bad driving captured on video.

I don't know about first time ever -- I wouldn't be surprised if we were on the same page on many topics. It just so happens that we've had some "heated" discussions on (a particular topic) in the past :cheers:

Just giving ya a hard time bro! It's all good. :-D

I think that was EXACTLY the point, thanks for restating it your own way. The car is good enough that it outperforms higher hp cars, where driver skill becomes more important that HP.

It is clear in the movie that there's some bad driving going on, but it's also clear how much more composed the Porsche is than the Vette.

FYI..It's not a Vette,it's a modified Camaro.
