I don't think they're like boxters at all. I love these little cars actually. Looks sweet

The fact is you dont know what your talking about

Its a 3.2 liter, not the same as a boxter and smaller than a 911. Power wise its in between the boxter S and the 911. Thats the first major difference

Suspension settings are also completely different, this is more of a sports car, the boxter is almost a sport tourer. Second difference.

Weight is less, structure is stronger because of the obvious lack of a convertable top.

Interior is COMPLETELY different.

The only thing that is vaguely similiar is the chassis, and thats beefed up alot more than the boxters. The motor is also vaguely similiar being a hybrid between the boxter and 911.

Try alittle research and reading before you spew out garbage

I doubt the suspension is that different...even if it was, surely its adjustable. The engine is better yes, but also based off of the Boxter. Which then again hasnt been altered greatly in quite some time. Weighs less for obvious reasons. The chassis IS the car itself. The car is based off of the Boxter

It is a hardtop boxster. The engine does make more HP that a regular Boxster S. The interior is identical to a Boxster.

It's a nice car and would be a fun track toy. There's an outfit in CT that's putting in a 3.8 400hp+ GT3 engine in one right now. Now that Boxster Hardtop err I mean cayman would be a tough platform to beat.
