I used to think that about the boxster (being a lower level of Porsche) but then I drove one on the track. A 911 needs a 50+hp advantage to live with the Boxster on the track... there is no comparison as to which is the better handleing car. If you are buying a Porsche, or Subaru, or Brand X due to its image.... well I needn't get into that discussion do i?

Why do you think that Porsche always under powers any of the 911's sibblings even when they have the exact same engine??? Simple fact. The 911 is a very poor car as far as layout is concerned it is based on the old vw beetle (rear engine). When something like the Boxster or the Cayman comes out and is far superior in design and handling, Porsche has to underpower it in order to maintain its crappy 911 image.
Here are some places to learn a bit more about the 911:

http://www.4wdonline.com/Porsche/History.html
http://www.porsche.com/international...ausen/history/
None of these sites mention the mistaken assumption that the VW Beetle had anything to do with the 911's design.
