Kent,
Sounds like you think the Boxster S should be left where it is!
You're right. Or maybe your saying that based on this year's
results, the regular Boxster should be in SS?
A small detail you are leaving out here is that several of the
very top drivers are in RX7's, not C4's, because the RX7 is
generally the faster of the two in their current classes. Put
those drivers in the C4 and this year's results versus A Stock
at major events would have probably been a little different.
You are quite correct in that the Boxster S is pretty much an
unknown quantity at the moment, and very well could prove to be
as good as the C4 on many courses. But, I doubt it.
