I disagree, the chassis is so communicative and easy to control that it would probably make a great drifter. Mid engined cars like the MR2 and NSX have been used extensively for drifting, not to mention the 911. I've seen some pretty extensive modifications to the cooling systems of drifting cars, which would probably be pretty pricey on the Porsche. Stiff chassis are paramount for drifting control though (the suspension itself has to be very stiff), this would be a drawback of the convertible Boxster.

In any case, it wouldn't be a cheap proposition.
