I don't quite understand Carroll Shelby's love of the SC over turbo given the HP consumption to run the thing, but at 3.7 sec for 0-60, who cares I guess!

I do, torque.
A 4.6L and now the 5.0L V8 engines have lots of torque and throw on a SC and you have almost as much torque as HP. Want to talk about throwing your a$$ back in a sit when launching.

Not trying to thread jack, but don't turbos add torque, too?

They do, but SC have always been better at generating more torque.
Also a SC can spool faster and many times put you in full boost or full power faster.

I believe the losses are minimal and there is less heat generation, the enemy of all engines. Anyone?

Kindof off-topic, but I pass a red Cayman at a Nissan dealership every day. I don't know if they traded it in for a Z, or another vehicle, just saying.

when i came to the dealer to order my z, the owner of a boxster asked me if i was interested in buying a boxster

he wanted to get a new z but he did not like the price the dealer had offered for his boxster.

yeah, i think it depends on the individual. for me, i like the design of the z better than the designs of the boxster and cayman, although i have no doubt that the porsches are great driving cars.

The first gen was under-powered. Nowadays, no more. I believe the 911, the Cayman, and the Boxster share the same engine (same torque, same hp).

I never like the Boxster until the Spyder came out.

911 has the better/more powerful engine.
