Good morning all,

In searching for a new roadster to replace my old miata, I have found that the Boxster S seems like the ultimate roadster for track and street. I am interested in the 986 S models, particularly the 2003 and 2004s. I have a couple questions/concerns...

I am a rather large guy (6'3" 240) and I havent test driven one yet to confirm it will work, but I am hoping to be able to track one with a roll bar extension and maybe a little seat modification. Anyone else successfully passing the "broom stick" test at my height?

I am also a little concerned with the IMS issue I have been reading about. I am a just looking for some input about what to look for when purchasing one.
