Congrats and welcome to the world of Porsche!
The motor could possibly be more powerful. They changed the Boxster engine in the 2000 model to a 2.7L vs. the previous 2.5L engine. A little more HP. If the engine was replaced after the 2000 model was in production, maybe they put the 2.7L engine in.
The really good thing is you have the new engine. There was a problem with some '99 models built over about a 4 month period. There was a problem at the factory, blah, blah, blah, but it was only over the 4 months. You should be good to go now for years to come.
