I joined here looking for some thoughts on buying a Porsche from people already owning one. I have the opportunity to pick up a used 996 Twin Turbo x50 model at a good price. The 986 on the other hand would be new and have a drop top. I could upgrade the engine in the Boxster to the power levels of the TT, but the cost would be rather high I think. If I put too much in the Boxster I think it would be all lost if I sold the car.

What do you think, should a Boxster be kept to it true identity, or is all right to modify it to the extreme.
