[edit] Links
I don't know what the standards are for external links, but there seem to be a few links that aren’t exceptionally useful. If someone could chip in a second opinion on these it would be very helpful (after a quick glance at the pages, I don’t see any great reason to keep them – and the last one should probably have the “very helpful” comment removed?):
- 986 and 987 Forum boards
- Porsche Pete's Boxster Board
- Used Boxster Buyer's Tips from a Boxster Owner - Very Helpful!

[edit] Engine
"The Boxster has a mid-mounted engine"? Has it? I thought it was tail mounted. // Liftarn
- Yes, the engine is mid-mounted. It's the Porsche 911's engine that is rear-mounted. SamH|Talk 10:29, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)
And it is very low too!-Ez5698
[edit] Porsche Boxster
What year did the Boxster switch from a "plastic" rear window to a glass one?
- The glass top comes on the '03 and up models.
I think it should also be mentioned that the Boxster competes directly with the Audi TT, Saab 9-3, 350z, and the honda s2000.
What is the average RWHP of a 2000 boxsterS ? Because the Brake horsepower or Bhp is higher than the actual RWHP.
[edit] video game
I remember that when the boxster was released there was a playstation racing game, presumably made for marketing puirposes, where the boxster was the only car you could drive. I think perhaps it should be mentioned here, but I can't remember the name of that game. 85.28.65.75 15:51, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Zscout370's deletion of the majority of the links
Zscout370, why did you delete the majority of the external links? They most assuredly weren't spam -- two were from Porsche's own website! I understand that some of them may technically have violated some oft-ignored linking rules (for example, external forum links are ostensibly forbidden, although many car articles have them), but but Boxster FAQ if nothing else is beyond reproach. Please don't just delete the links again without commenting here first. Stephen Hui 05:39, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
- Everything from the official website of Porche to the the FAQ, I would not mind keeping. However, it was brought to our attention offline that many of the Porche articles are getting spammed with links to the autowiki and by fourms. I am going to remove the forum links again.
