What does the future look like for the 986?

I see the original Boxster losing the stigma of being a hairdresser or soccer mom car, and becoming the car that the cool guys at track days are in.

As the M96 engines continue to crap out on regular Boxster owners, more and more will either be scrapped or end up in the hands of track rats, enthusiasts and other DIY types. The general public just won't spend the money needed to keep such a complex car with such low current value going.

The enthusiasts will swap in a high HP motor (base model), or rebuild the flat 6 bigger (S model), making the Boxster a real weapon. Unmolested Boxsters will become very rare due to the inherent limitations of the unmodified M96 often leading to its early demise.

What do you see as the future of the 986?

regards,

Silber
