how about the new Mercedes C63 AMG? 6.3L V8..... 451hp! LOL

I'd keep the boxster myself..... I suppose if you are having repair and maintenance issues with your boxster you could move to the S2000. before I bought my boxster I spoke with some pro drivers who had raced all three and they'd pick the boxster. they liked the S2000 and said it was fast on the track but not very forgiving. they told me the boxster was the easiest to drive fast. not being a pro driver I decided I needed the more forgiving machine... LOL
they said that in their experience the S2000 was already tweaked out close to the max from the factory so they found it hard to modify it to improve performance at the track.

as an aside: It's amazing the selection of product offerings out there for car enthusiasts compared to say 20 years ago. Makes it hard to narrow down a decision. ;-)
