Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (Nov 10, 2008 2:00 pm) The 2.5 still gets it to 60mph in about 6.5 secs. I don't suspect that will be much of a problem. The S model only shaved about .7 secs off of that. Handling-wise ... well, that can always be tweaked. I would imagine it would still spank my G35X around the track. Interesting to note, however, that the 2000 base model got bumped to a 2.7 engine and lost ~30 lbs, yet, according to edmunds, didn't get any faster.

Replying to: bumpy (Nov 10, 2008 3:54 pm) I think the issue is with early cars, and I think even 3-5% would be high. I do agree, though, that Boxsters were not built like 911s. Half the price, half the mileage?  If you want a REAL Porsche engine problem, look at the 911 twin turbos. I'd bet serious money you won't see the far side of 60,000 miles without issues. I'm also amused that people will track their cars and Drive to Win, but they won't "Spend to Win".

Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (Nov 10, 2008 9:40 pm) So, all of this gets me thinking about C4s. Good old American horsepower. No turbo lag, no trying to stay on boost, and an engine compartment that you can stick a wrench into if need be. More importantly, a replacement engine is cheaper than a turbo job on the Japanese cars. I'm not big on the interior or the Corvette image, but man these are a lot of car for the money.
