Any idea how much torque you're making Fuzzy?

Beginning to wonder what I can keep up with after these posts!

Closest I've come to giant slaying is a nice new 330i, the driver of which looked somewhat puzzled :D

Couldn't post the power plot up could you? We can work out the torque from that :)

Be interested to know!

Accodring to a couple of mags I've got kicking about, the 2.7 boxter has 240bhp and does 0-60 in 6.2s, while the 3.2S has 276bhp and completes the 0-60 dash in 5.5s.

Wouldn't stop me having a pop at a 3.2 though :D

The Boxter is a very capable car, the 2.7 still has plenty of poke compared to a standard 325i.

the 3.2 is obviously very quick, 5.5 0-60 is not too shabby at all.

I think your touring is probably a bit heavier too, james, so I wouldnt be too disheartened-and get that next stage done :cool:

The boxster is a very nice car indeed, handles brilliantly. Shame is looks a bit like a hairdressers car. Only the S is worth bothering with, the standard boxster is a car for looks only IMHO. The S is quite quick, TBH fuzzy I would expect you to beat one in a straight line, probably not in corners though.
