The turbo would be pretty hard to resist. The x50 has 444 hp compared to a new box S that has 260hp or a new boxster that has 228hp. Why is this even a hard decision? Unless you absolutely have to have a drop-top, I would get the x50 in a heartbeat. They just started making 911 x50 turbo cabrio's in 04 by the way, so if you want the best of both worlds, it can be had at a price. Aren't used x50's still at least 100k though? I thought new x50's run near 150k. A regular 911 turbo runs 125k. If it is less than 100k, I'd be worried about something. Is the title still clear?
Many people say that the mid-engine design of the boxster is superior to the rear engine design of the 911's because it is more balanced. Other than that, the 911 x50 turbo kicks the boxster's ass in every respect. Don't get me wrong, the boxster is an incredible car, but the 911 x50 is basically the ultimate porsche.
Poloman, I don't see anything wrong either with modding a boxster if thats what your heart desires. As you said though, mods wont really add any value to it; you will take a hit when resale comes along.
