Plus side is it won't harm the collectability or price of real Boxsters like the 986.
So you'd never buy a 356, 912, 914-4, etc.?

I also doubt most Boxster buyers will care if it's a four versus a six (if the power is the same). If the flat-fours are turbocharged, there is likely a greater tuning potential to be had with an ECU reflash.
