For the price of the 996, I'm sure the folks at LN Engineering could help you with your HP itch.
Drop in a 3.6L 996 motor with IMSB retrofit and you'd be hot to trot! :dance:
More seriously, I understand your frustration. I don't like the 996. I also don't like the 987 (Boxster Spyder aside). It was very difficult for me to find something in the $20-30k range that was a Porsche and satisfied my wants/needs. I got very lucky finding a 993 in that price point, but in doing so I lost that roadster experience.
Good luck figuring this all out for yourself!
