You can't get to the engine to work on it. It would need a complete redesign,
so it is like a GT40.



For this reason, I think a Corvette is a better choice for an 'old' car that you will need to work on to keep working and tweaking.
You are kidding. In five years tracking a Boxster I've had 2 Mustangs pass me. A new model track prepped Shelby. A GT class 2010 Mustang with I'll guess had 10 bill in ground effects on it. The Boss 302's may have more HP but they can't turn I can usually get by one is a half lap or less.

As for Corvettes some of the C5 and all the C6 and newer Vettes are faster. So your talking cars that cost more than a new Boxster.

The new Camaros are fast and turn, Nissan GT-r's, EVO's and WRX's
