That's not what it's about.

Don't turn your Boxster into some freak show that travels the country in World Of Wheels and only zit-faced 13 yr olds will think is cool. Sell the Boxster if you're not happy with it and buy what makes you happy. It will be worth way more now in it's current condition than after it becomes a Basturd.

I was waiting for this to show up in the thread, it seems like someone always has to show up and offer nothing constructive. I bought the Boxster just for a nice small car to cruise around in, and I love the handling. Now I have a bit more money, still like the car, and haven't seen anything that really draws me to buy another car really. I am just a bit disappointed that the engine seems to be anemic and not engineered well enough to actually be tuned in any serious way.
What do you care if I want to take my Boxster, toss in some random engine and turbo it? Suppose I even wanted to put a huge double-decker spoiler, lots of stickers and neon lights underneath it? Sure, if it is $50K, then there is no way I would bother, I would probably just buy something else. If it can be done for a price comparable to buying a 3.4L engine, give me more horsepower and more potential upside for later, then that would not be a bad choice.
And seriously, the whole Basturd thing isn't even close to clever. Seriously, I don't worry about how other people are going to perceive my decisions, I outgrew that when I stopped being an adolescent.
