Both of these cars come with powerful 6-cylinder engines (well, at least optionally) and manual transmissions.
Both of them will run 0-60 in around low 6s (Base Boxster) to high 4s (SLK32 AMG).
These are fast, competitive cars people.
A New Beetle or a PT Cruiser could be considered "girlie". These cars are something else, entirely.
Besides, girlie cars can't beat up on 5.0 liter Fords like these cars can
