The guy's considering a battery. He's not wanting to do anything drastic. A light battery isn't going to upset some delicate balance.

I take the spare tire out when I auto-x my '01 S. Is that wrong?

I agree with the idea that Porsche designs cars with careful consideration, but they, like all manufacturers, have to make tradeoffs with price, weight, safety, and customer needs.

Do R compound tires upset the 'balance'? No, they allow the suspension to work on the track.

How about strut bars?

Of course you guys are right about a bunch of the mods not being worth much compared to a driving school.

Finally, one Boxster driver weighs 150lbs, one weighs 250. Who upsets the balance more? How about a passenger? Luggage? Those heavy 18" rims?
