Think about it you are spending nearly 80% of the car's cost for
far far less than a 80% increase in performance, any kind of performance.
You aint winning any Autocross races in a RUF Boxster now that you have been
bumped up a class and now have to contend with the big boys going home with your trophy. Try explaining to your friends why you spent $40K to get beat every weekend and your car doesn't look any different than your neighbohrs 987 with $2K TechArt wheels?

I appreciate your value perspective, but I'd be buying the upgrade to keep
me happy. Not to impress friends or do Autocross races. I absolutely love the Boxster. I love the look, the handling, everything but the performance.
And regarding value, the C2S Cab is $92,800 stripped (no tax). Throw in the bare essentials and it's easy $95 -- even without the X51. Contrast that to a $55,500 (stripped) + $38,900 = $93,900 Boxster Ruf S. That's a lower price for a muuuch prettier car, considerably better performance, and better mid-engine handling. Porsche lists the cab at 4.7s, the Boxster Ruf S is quoted by Autoweek at 4.0, which is probably a little generous, so let's just say 4.2 or 4.3.
Almost seems like a steal to me
