Porsche Boxster S: "It's Fast!"

Here's a nice read of the 2007 Boxster S.

What matters about the 2007 Porsche Boxster S is that it's fast, and it constantly dares you to engage in bad behavior. During a drive down Highway 1 from San Francisco to Half Moon Bay I alternated between having fun on the curves to paranoid glances at the rear view mirror. The Boxster S has a 3.4-liter flat six-cylinder engine that's mounted right behind the cabin and produces 295 horsepower, not to mention a particularly beautiful engine noise. The car steers incredibly well, due to the balanced fore-and-aft weight ratio made possible by the mid-engine arrangement. The six-speed manual transmission shifts with European refinement--it's not precise like many Japanese car transmissions, where shifting feels like flipping a switch; rather, it moves into each gear comfortably, like each gear is a well-worn groove.
