Look what you're comparing. Oversteer at triple digit speeds to accidents. After you address that issue compared to basic safety on the road I will continue this with you.

Lol, hey I don't got my TT yet. When I finish up school though . Either way the boxster is a good car but I would feel mighty gay in a boxster. Just looks like such a chick car or as my uncle calls it...a poor mans porsche (not my words boxster guys!). Atleast in a hyundai everyone just thinks i'm poor instead of gay haha. The high life will come oneday but for now it is just sticking to kicking cocky boxster owners asses in turbo civics.

To a certain extent yes. On the other hand if you look at the fact a boxster cost a bit more then my entire project I would say no. Either way the two cars are apples and oranges. [/B][/QUOTE]
so then why did you make the ludicrous comparison?

Maybe you're spending to much money on your car and it's making you a "poor man". When I had my Boxster, the women loved it and I'm very far from being Gay. As far as kicking Boxsters in your T/civic, not every Porsche owner wants to race a pimple face kid in a POS honda civic. Not worth the gas.

Now for the cayenne. While of course it will do better then other SUVs in an accident (for the price it better) I'm still not convinced it will be less likely to roll over in comparsion to a normal height car. Since we were comparing it to the safety of an accord I still say it is a less likely car to rollover.

It has been on a dyno. The car was tuned on the dyno because it is using neptune (similar to hondata). Basically it lets the ECU read boost and control the 550cc injectors. Much like the chips you guys get this chip is programed custom to my car to add fuel and pull timining in boost. Only dyno I have is my old dyno but it will still prove your 160hp theory wrong. It is my low boost dyno using a restrictive downpipe at the time. Low boost now should be around 225whp with the new downpipe but I have no exact way to measure since I didn't re-dyno it. New sheets will be posted once I re dyno the built block going for 350 to the wheels.

Those who get loaners, do you put gas in before you return 'em?
I have a Cayenne S in my driveway right now while my 996 is getting the sunroof sorted. Funny thing, it has a $73k sticker! I would be handing out stripped V6's if it were me. But I usually get a Cayenne, sometimes Audi Allroad, or Boxster.
Local BMW gives Pontiac Grand Am's.
Local Benz gives Olds or Saturns.
Local Infiniti gives Infiniti's.
Local Lexus gives Lexus, or Camry's in a pinch.
We'll see what Audi gives.
North Scottsdale dealers have Hertz on-site. When I took the 996 I got a compact car for free (Mazda Protege) but had to prepay $5 for gas.
