Just don't know: why is Non-S Boxster used for spec?

^^^ this.

By keeping the cars to 2.5L and 5-speeds and limiting the allowable modifications to the car, you get a run group that is affordable and very competitive. As soon as you start to allow modifications, rules get stretched, and the competitiveness between cars goes out the window.

And as for fun, 201 horses and a 5-speed in a Boxster on a twisty road course is about as fun as it gets. Learning how to manage energy and drive the car correctly is much more fun than just blasting down a straightaway. I look forward to the straights just so I can catch my breath and get ready to attack the corners.
