In Reply to: 300Hp Boxster Vs BMW M5. The match. posted by J.Neves on February 03, 2001 at 09:14:02:


Just got a phone call from a friend who arrived yesterday from Germany with a BMW M5. We will be together within one hour or so. I personally find the M5 the best of two Worlds. 400Hp and 4 doors with refined interiors. What a great car. The only thing I dont like, is the black wheels and the double twin exhaust.

We are going to make, if possible, a brief side by side. This is the best part, because my friend doesnīt know that my Boxter have the 3.4L 996 engine (300Hp). He thinks that my car has the stock 2.5L engine (204Hp). Imagine, after a side by side from 20Km/h to 120Km/h (probably we wont have chance to go further, itīs Saturday) my car wont loose that much, I suppose that we will be side by side at 120km/h.
I canīt imagine his face. "So Mario, 400Hp and you canīt get away , you must have a serious engine problem with your car . Iīm diyng for this.

I will let him suffer a little bit in front of all our friends, and on the end of the day will tell him the truth.
I will take my digital camera, and will post the full report later on. Stay tuned.
