ok, I know but ignoring the gross loss of HP.... it looks like it may be possible to fit a flat 4 air cooled vw motor into a boxster. you would loose some weight with the smaller motor and deleting of radiators etc. would be some air ducting to be done.
a replica speedster is now approaching $25,000. a boxster with a blown motor is a lot less than that and the air cooled stuff is very inexpensive. would still be a fun ride. any thoughts from those of you who might know?
I bought my Boxster 5 months ago and have put 8,000 miles on it to reach 60,000.
seems like the more I drive it the better it does. need to do the 60,000 service now.
