Hi,

If this is your 1st Boxster, I'd suggest getting the Car and driving it for a few months as is. As Adam indicated, Porsche did a pretty good job conceptualizing and manufacturing the Boxster.

There isn't that much room for improvement unless you really lay out the $$$. About the only serious thing it lacks is Displacement, and it seems the 997 and Cayman Boys have control over this domain.

There's lots of places to waste money trying to improve a Boxster, and few places where that money will yield positive benefit beyond a placebic effect.

An OEM Boxster is more capable than about 95% of their Owners. If you aren't familiar with, or have a lot of Experience and Training with Sport Driving, then, the single greatest investment you can make is in yourself.

You'll be amazed how much more you can get out of a Stock Boxster once you know how. There are many Porsche Driving schools as well as many others which can boost your skills tremendously. Good Luck!...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
