The first video is the American version of the TV show Best Motoring. The Second Video is the Japanese version known as Tsukuba Battle. In these two races, the Boxster is put up against some newer, more powerful competition. 
 
Ever wonder how loud your Boxster will sound with no Muffler and no catalytic converts?
 
Most people don't believe that the "underpowered" Boxster's can do burnouts. Here is the proof. Personally, I would never attempt a burnout because tires are expensive. Luckily, there is a video to see how it would look like. Thats a pretty long burnout!
 
Here is a video I like to watch because the M3 is is more powerful with the larger engine, but the Boxster's weaker, smaller engine can still put up a fight. As stated in the video description, both of these cars are stock. The M3 did win with a 1/4 mile of 14.3 seconds while the Boxster finished with a 1/4 mile time of 14.5 seconds.
