I don't know about more HP...I can pretty successfully scare the bejesus out of people in the cockpit (including myself) with a 280 hp Boxster S driven at the limit (or at least my limits).

It takes a lot of HP and a lot of money (C06 excluded) to gain a half second off the 0-60 and a second off the 1/4 times of the 987S. It's pretty much a definitive example of diminishing returns.

As far as the C06 goes, in most cases if one can afford a new Boxster then one can afford a new Vette. It's not like Porsche buyers slap their foreheads and say "dang, I could have had a Vette". To state the obvious, it's a question of personal preference. Besides I don't own enough gold chains to drive a Vette and prefer crew-neck tee-shirts to wife-beaters.
