I still can't figure out how they can have a 1997 996.
Boxster sounds better ...

The Boxster does sound way better, but the boxster is an RS spyder with the sports exhaust. Throw an aftermarket exhaust on the 996 and I'm sure it would sound as good.

Very interesting video. Yeah, she goofed on the 1997 thing.....

Not only should 911 owners be very happy, but so should Boxster owners. Those times are so close to each other and the 996 wasn't exactly a slouch.

I stopped watching Fifth Gear after they started doing their shows in the cafe. I see it's still very similar. Only 3 and a bit months until Top Gear's back!
