Hey Fellow Spec Boxster drivers.

Anyone know if the Spec Boxster can make a 90 min enduro without taking fuel? I may not have a crew at the Glen and want to know my options.

What year car are you driving Andy? I understand that the mid 98's and 99's have a larger fuel tank (15.3 vs 17 gallons).

Mine is a '98. I didn't know there were different fuel tanks.

I think it would be close I have a non-spec 02-s and took a splash to finish a 90-minute

Hi Andy,

If you do need to refill we may be able to help you out, especially if you are in the same run group as D or E and don't mind working with the logistics of a few cars serviced by one crew (ie staggard pit stops).

Thanks Mark. We'll talk at the track. I also like to just take my 5 min stop and stay in the car. That way I can always have a perfect stop without any surprises.

M_Weining

Yeah, that's best if you can do it.

Don't worry Andy, we built that car with a bigger gas tank to accommodate the 3.2 Boxster S engine that is in it. Didn't I show you the secret button under the dash?

I wish Scott. I could use the power.

At a track like the Glen, with those elevation changes, IMO no. 90 minutes at say 2:10 a lap is what? 42 laps? At 3.4 miles per lap? 142 miles? I assure you, you ain't getting 10 MPG in race conditions.

For comparison, my D car goes through approx 20 gallons at the Glen Enduro..

Is that before or after you eat at Mr. Chicken?

To finish the glen race, you will run 85 minutes with a 2:15 lap time. I'd figure you'll need to do around 7.5 MPG
