I own a 99 and used to own an 03. A good option if you can't afford one, or even if you can, is a Miata. I had a '97 with LSD (limited slip) and it had a few advantages over the Boxsters:
- better gearbox.
- lighter and easier to toss around at low speeds in the corners which made for fun fishtails at safe speeds.
- never worried anyone would mess with it in a public parking lot.
- dirt cheap to fix and super reliable so never really had to fix it.
I've driven a v8 swap but never a SC or turbo version. If you want faster than a 986S you need to buy or build one or these.
