OK so $67,000 Less what maybe $12,000 (on paper for a trade) so for my car and $55,000, I can buy a car that looks strikingly like....oh yeah my car! The weight? From what I've read a 1998 Boxster doesn't weigh a lot more than the spyder it's just clearly underpowered in contrast. Ah but what does that really mean? A few tenths of seconds, maybe even a full second faster? IMO, for what I'd spend for the fork lift upgrade, I could drop 10K in my own car, put it on a similar weight diet and certainly not be disappearing from the Boxster Spyder's rear view mirror... Besides, I'm looking to move to Florida where I'm told AC isn't an option but vital!!!!
