I upgraded my 2000 Boxster to an S about 3 months ago now. I had the same problem with my old Boxster - I NEEDED MORE POWER!

I think the easiest thing to do is to upgrade your car to an S. You can better handling, brakes and power and best of all it's still very balanced!

In autocrosses, a good driver can outrun turbos and GT3's. Our autocross champion drives a stock S with MO30 suspension and R compound tires.

On the track, an S runs in the same class as 996's and it handles better, so theory, it should outrun the 996's on the track. I learned that it's not just the power of the car that makes it go fast, it's the balance of power, handling, braking and of course most important of all - THE DRIVER. There were faster cars like turbos, GT3's and 997S's with novice drivers that I passed on the track. On the other hand, there were slower cars like pre 90 911's that passed me.

On the street, you can't go that fast without running into traffic or worst yet - the cops. I get my need for speed on the track and autocrosses.

You can read my reviews of cars that I testdrove - Most of them faster than mine, but I still prefer the S over them.

Do I need more power? It would be nice (you can see my wishlist in my review of cars), but in the meantime, I'll learn how to be a better driver......

One more thing, I'm very happy with my upgrade to the S!
