I would love my 2.5 Boxster to have more power, but lets be realistic here. It may be the slowest of these cars, but it's still plenty fast. At 0-60 in 6.7, 1/4 mile in about 14.5, it's quite adequate for my needs. The first car I ever drove was my father's 1969 Z-28, a legendary muscle car that, for its time, was considered a great handler. The straight line performance was maybe .3/sec faster, top speed not as good , and it got 9 miles/ gallon on Sunoco 260. I think we're well past the point of overkill on horsepower with most of today's performance cars.

With that said, a local Porsche specialists thinks he can install a 3.4 motor with headers in my car for about $12,000. Tempting.......
