Yeah, sounds really bad. I turned it off. But it's what all of the kiddies want I guess. Better to be cool than good ....

When I test drove my 996 I was wondering why everyone was sounding the horn at me. A well folded, well placed business card inserted between horn pad and wheel negates a couple hundred pound fix from Porsche. Gorgeous car, I love it....

When will these guys learn to lose the damn music??????

One of your best videos, love the new addition to tfl group and cant wait for more!

Thanks so much for these videos guys! Love the Porsche dedicated new series! :) You should have a a 996 vs 997 video soon! I'm sure it's another pretty typical dilemma! :)

This was a cool video, but I MUCH rather hear the cars as opposed to the music. Ditch the music during the laps, and it will be greta. Oh and a note to the editor, its "Carrera" NOT "Camera".

thank you for starting this series, i just bought a new cayman gts 6 months ago. So this series is so interesting to me to see and here your adventures with your car. Excellent, keep up the great work and have fun, i would love to see some track driving. Cheers.

Good vids. This channel deserves more subs and likes!

Wouldn't the Boxster be more aerodynamic and faster with the top up?

It's the only Porsche ever tested to be faster with the top down. Look up roadster convertible speed test

Great video I have a Boxster S and am getting a 2002 C2 6-speed. So this is very informative to me although mine will have about 25 more horsepower than that 911. My Boxster also has three grand suspension upgrade and really good Michelin Tires. The horn honking is freaking hilarious.

Even though I'm a corvette enthusiast I am really enjoying your project Porsche series. Thanks

Wow, please don't play music over the engine.

Super cool! I have a 99 C2 and we are picking up an immaculate 986S as well. The boxster's are very good on track. The RE71R seems like a great place to start for a sticky street tire.

Great video. I have a 00 986 :) Super fun!!

not 2 seconds, more like 1.11 seconds. Pretty good for the old boxster!

When is Episode 5 coming? Much awaited!!!

Well I now own a 2000 Boxster S and a 2002 996.2 The Boxste r has the suspension upgraded and a tune. I would say the 911 handles better. ...stays more planted. But both are very fast I'm not sure the 911 is a lot faster than the Boxster. Love them both ..it's a tough choice as to which one I want to take out..

Justin Wilson set that record time right? Gosh he seemed like such a nice guy. I miss seeing him in videos like this.

+The Fast Lane Car : Just want to say, how much I am enjoying your Porsche Project Car. Like you, I have restored a number of hot cars over the years, but in my case, I have always come out backwards, to use your terminology. Though, I never undertook these things to turn a profit, or to break even. Me, I just fall in love with a certain car, and then I am overtaken by my debilitating illness...Car Restorations! Best of luck guys, even if you don't break even, it is so much fun, one tends to forget the dollar amounts. Justin Wilson Esq. I remember watching the race, and being stunned and saddened by Justin's untimely death. But I found TFLC's tribute very moving, obviously you guys really loved and respected Justin, and cared enormously about his young family's well being also. I witnessed Roman bravely holding back tears, as he struggled to speak both caringly and warmly about his friend. That was the day, I realised Roman who is a tall mountain of a guy, was really just a soft and gentle giant. I had watched Justin driving on one of TFLC's videos sometime ago. At the time, I had no idea who he was, but he appeared a very interesting guy. His knowledge about cars, and the driving quickly of said cars, is what interested me at the time. He was a very cheerful and obliging man, who had the knack of ring that last 2% out of any car he was in control of. He made speedy lap times look easy, for he knew exactly what to do, and how to get the car to do it. I also vaguely recall a session with a BMW M6 Grand Coupe, though I could be very wrong...I'm getting on now. You always find out, what and how people really think and feel about someone, once they have passed on. Obviously Justin was highly regarded, and was extremely well thought of by all those associated with the sport of motor racing. But Justin was also well liked and admired by a great many others, who didn't personally know him, of which that is the case with me. What a terrible tragedy, and the waste of a very kind hearted decent young man. RIP Justin.

I enjoy your videos, particularly this series. I'm not in love with the background music. It seems likes it's a little too loud. I realize it's a filler, but it just bothers me. Otherwise, I enjoy your work. Please take the criticism in the way it was intended - gently. I'm a lover, not a hater!!!

Apart from the bhp difference & crap tyres, would the roof down have any affect on the boxster' performance ?

What wheels and tires are/were you running on the 996? Sizes also if you got them. Thanks in advance

You know, I really like the look of that generation 911, and true fact that you can pick these up for so cheap gives me ideas...weird question TFL, do you know the percentage of tint on those windows? I have 35% and it doesn't look as dark as that.

Wrong. The winner here is the Boxster, not the 911. 1.1 second slower with worm tires and top down. Very disappointed they didn’t swap the tires and did another lap.

very great

I really want a early 2000s Boxster S but they rarely come up for sell in the Memphis area.

Him: "Apples to apples is not quite what we do" Me: " YOU GOT THAT RIGHT, this video, new tires vs completely worn out junk tires. Other tow videos, Ram 3.42 rear end, chevy 3.50 rear end Ford 4.11 rear end". And then they are shocked and brag about the ford. Smh.. Should just title it, two guys playing around with two different Porsches.

I need to install some LED daytime running lights on my 2008 328i like Paul did on his Boxster S.

3:19 1999 Porsche "Camera" 911

That horn is a common problem when those cars age, $0.10 O-rings from Home Depot can fix that

Love the tire push.i know myself that there are not a lot of people doing it.i have a 2015 rubicon and the stock tires suck in packed snow.i also have a wk2 overland and would love to see what tires are the best in 20" the stock have a lot of road noise I think more so than the rub icons mud tires!

driving with roof down in a race is a no anyone racing driver should know that!

The first thing I did after buying my first 911 was join PCA and sign up for Driver Skills class. First thing I learned (first thing everyone learns) was a great big reality check on my imagined driving abilities. It took me three years of diligent effort to become a PCA driving Instructor. That is how I can say for certain neither of these cars was driven anywhere near their max performance. Proof? There's only a couple brief moments like here 4:15 where the tires chirp, indicating hard cornering. Also the horn was a braking g-force meter, honking the whole time under hard braking. It was hardly ever honking. Brakes are the most powerful component on the car, they were hardly being used at all. This isn't meant as criticism so much as to show just how much need there is for some really great videos as you go through Driver Skills, autocross and Driver Ed. Everyone I know who has agrees: if you think Porsche makes a great car, just wait till you learn to drive it!

I believe their driving instructor is Paul Gerrard, a professional racing driver whose skills are likely better than yours. How many professional races have you won?

6:17 It's great to see Roman is getting to grips with a manual transmission.

914 and Boxster are my Porsche models of choice. Mid engine, fun to drive and I could own either without having to shop for a killer deal tho the 914 is getting pricier these days. They are meant to be enjoyed and I think the Boxster and 914 are the absolute best for that, no need to worry about wrecking your super expensive ride. If I could own any Porsche I wanted then an original 356 (pre-A) cabriolet with split window in Porsche silver would be getting polished every weekend in my driveway for everyone to see, pure 50's style :)

What was that music during the first run?

I like the comparison. Next time lets here the Porsche Boxster the entire time guys come on!

I like the series. The music during the track portions is completely gratuitous, especially when you're dealing with engines that sound as nice as a Porsche's. It would be interesting to get a 3.4 liter Boxster to compare to the 911. Conventional wisdom is that mid-engine is ideal and rear engine is just wrong (thanks to Ralph Nader). But as Paul points out, there are some hidden benefits to the 911's rear engine location and it would be interesting to see an "all other things being equal" comparison, or at least as close as you could get.

Idk but I think the horn is a safety feature. When you brake hard in case of an emergency it's actually smart to have the horn go off automatically, so you don't have to do it (like in the case of rear ending someone). You shoulda kept it that way hahahah

+bigb9854 No, it happens on most older 996 and 986 Porsches. The rubber grommets that the airbag / horn contacts sit on gets weak over time. You'll also find a lot of horns don't work because the horn pad eventually got completely stuck and the horn fuse burned out, so when you put a new fuse in you get a loud surprise.

Great video apart from the music over the sound of the car. Want to hear the car

LOL that horn LOL

Do a 3.4 intake manifold/TB 987 engine cover, intake, MAF housing and an oem 996 flash. And then we'll see ;) the boxster 3.2 other than bore is, internally at least, identical. Only choked in intake and exhaust

is the horn problem common when braking?

goddamn music while I'm trying to listen to the car lol!

Two seconds and the Boxster had run out tires while the 911 had new tires. I'd say that it is really a toss up. Too bad you couldn't have put new tires on the Boxster so we could have learned something. As it is, we just got another KZread video.

I know both cars. And the 987 Boxster, this was a really big step, faster and easier to drive than 986 and 996

To make a fair comparison, you need both cars to have fresh tires. Be nice to have each car to make two alternating runs. Unless the driver practiced the course in both cars, the second run would have an advantage of practice on the track and the driver just warming up. Not a fair test.

Not sure how these cars stack up in terms of used values in North America, but here in Australia a 986 Boxster costs about half as much as a 996. You'd be lucky to pick up a 996 for less than $38k Australian, about $28kUS. You can get a Boxster S for under $20kAU if you look hard. I think I'd take the Boxster and keep $20k in my pocket. Yes it's a fraction slower, but it has a soft top; just what you need in sunny Australia

I live in South Dakota I was wondering what is the shops phone number or website that fixes your Porsche?

Did the hood, rear deck struts... Did the horn grommets too. They took numerous "adjustments" before they performed perfectly. Ruined one in the process and inserted a scrap of a business card in it's place. Fixed. The check engine lite comes on at start but is turned off by touching the I switch. Trade one issue for another. But no more IRRITATING HORN when braking.

its like impossible to find an old white boxster, what a shame

Drag race at 6:15. You're welcome.

Can u do 2015 Mustang Vs 2015 Challenger Hellcat

Tire Comparison test, not car comparison! You can't have brand new tires vs worn tires!!! I would let it "slide" if they both had used tires. The difference was barely over a second!
