It should be sprightly!
I'm also doing an EV conversion on a 97 Boxster. Curious what you paid for the car?
I have a 9 inch DC motor. You shouldn't need to get the porsche 6 speed,
I learned from this forum that an Audi A4 and Passat transmission also fits, which is what I have..generally don't need anything but reverse and 4th gear.
I'd also say if limited to 1000amps, the 9in motor is plenty and lot less weight.

I'm putting in a large supercapacitor bank, how about 950hp ?
I could use the 11 inch with this!
