Not for the money it's not.
I modified the heck out of my Miata for autox/DE. Shocks, wheels, tires, intake/exhaust, headers and cosmetic mods that made it a real
head-turner -- just like the Boxster S it always got compliments.
All in, I think i barely spent over $5K. That's what my Boxster's Fabspeed exhaust and headers alone run these days...
To be honest, a well sorted Miata is much more of a gear-shifting, roadster experience in the tradition of Austin's, Elan's, Alfa's than the Boxster ever was. Actually for a roadster, the Boxster driver and feels more like a full-sized sports car. Probably because it's essentially a 996 Carrera by part number from the doors forward.
