Increasing HP?

[Seal1968]

I drove a 2.5, then a 2.7, then the 3.2 S that I bought. Pricing for S vs non-S isn't much different in my area that I've seen...so bang for my buck, I got an S.

There is a difference with 50 more hp.

To add 50 ponies to a 2.5 or 2.7 would cost you more than what you paid for your car originally. Just price it out...you'll see.

If you want to go blazing fast in a straight, boring way then I suggest buying an old Nova and add a giant V8 and a set of slicks.

Oh, and +1,000,000...go learn how to drive these cars. You won't regret that.

You can have the best of both worlds. A Boxster is just not the HP freak that some wish it was. Bits not slow, but definitely not the kick in the pants fast. My S6 is plenty fast, and despite being a family sedan kicks butt in the corners as well. Surprisingly so. Coupled with over 560 hp and 620 ft/lbs of torque, it's provides both power and handling. With that said, I find the Boxster every bit as fun to drive, and in some situations even more so. It's just a different kind of performance and a different feel. Both out a giant smile on my face.
