I'm a former 964 owner, I loved the car, it was in excellent condition and well cared for. I went to a couple of DE days and realized that the way I prefer to experience the car is on the track and I didn't feel like putting the wear and tear on that car. So, here's my current situation/thought process...I've been learning about Boxsters, Spec Boxster racing class, etc. I would buy a car drive it, learn how to drive better with the eventual goal of converting it to a spec boxster in a few years. My question is would you buy a '97-'99 now and perform a few mods (suspension, exhaust, seats) now and drive it for a few years or would you buy a Boxster S now, drive it and then find a 2.5L in a few years to convert to a Spec?

Thanks!
