Dont know what to do.. New Car? ZO6, 996?

So I've been thinking my 99 pale yellow Boxster is under powered. And at 201 HP i am sure it is. It only has 67k miles on it but i have been thinking i need something with more ZIP. I have been looking at the later C5 ZO6 the 405hp models. Great power, cheap...probably in both respects and not super heavy... in the 3100 range. Or perhaps and early 2000's 996 Carrera. Although less power, the quality and resale will certainly be higher than the GM. But what i really want is just a swapped 3.6 or larger more HP motor in my boxster lol. It is the most fun thing to drive ever! Super lightweight, mid engine, great quality! What more can you ask for!
Unfortunately i think this option would end up being the most expensive. I also cant really transport anything with my Boxster, such things as kayaks, surfboards, standup paddle boards, or even my road bike. I dont think the Z06 has any kind of rack, but it has a solid top, and must! I know the Carrera has roof rack holes that flip over which is great, superb german engineering as always!

What to do!
