I figure its a stick -- has decent safety equipment and she can only be distracted by 1 occupant. Most kids won't know how to drive it, so
she'll be behind the wheel.
I'm also a member at a local road course track - hoping to enroll her in some car control skills.
Hope I'm not making a mistake.....

Your Boxster is MUCH more substantial than the 99 Miata I was considering putting the youngest son in, I would not have a problem putting a young driver in it (the Boxster), except for the fear they'd drive like an idiot lol. A picture of my first Miata next to my 993 which is about the same size as a 986 Boxster:
The Street Survival class is one day long put on by The Tire Rack and BMW Club, cost is ~ $75 and well worth it imo.
