You can always use MORE Power, can't you?

yes but its a fantasy game, you are never satified. Its like an addiction to alcohol you need more and more to get the same rush. Its a sort of one dimensional obssession, you feel those G's in your gut and get a thrill and many don't realize there are bigger thrills available from the car. You just have to actually turn the steering wheel and the whites of your eyes will open up wider than you thought possible.
THe Boxster is just not a "power" car and I wonder if dumping another 100 HP would upset the handling without massive modfications to the suspension and all the other things to keep it from becoming an oversteering monster.

By the way there was guy at the autocross yesterday with a yellow Lotus Elise (surprisingly quiet stock) who says a tuner in California is building a turbo for the Elise. The power will be in the neighbohrhood of 270 RWHP on a 1900lb. car!
Get me a set of Falken Azenis on that car and I'll forget all about a 997/987S.

I'm in the same boat. Sure it's real nice to take turns at crazy speeds but I don't have reasonable access to a track at the moment. I do auto-cross a couple times a year when a car club 1 hr away comes to my town. There isn't a decent track near my house for hours. What we lack in tracks we make up in straight roads here. I can't push my car as hard as I want to in the turns for fear of losing it and hitting oncoming traffic or at the very least hitting a curb, a tree or something else. On the other hand I try to eploit the power of my car on a regular basis and even though it is more than adequate I would want another 50-100hp. Why not? I like the feeling of getting pushed back in my seat so hard I can't breath and the scenary starts to blur. I can't get that feeling with my current S but a Z06 ride gave me a taste of what alittle more power can feel like...and I don't think I would ever tire of that feeling.

Like Henry Ford's reply how much more money he needed being the richest man of the early twentieth century. " All I want is just a little more" Of course who can't say no to more h.p.
