Well now that I have heard the horror stories about the stock porsche, I would definately be more interested in yours. I have read on another site about a guy who blew a 3.8 x?? up after a very short time.
I assume yours is more powerful, right? Is it a whole lot better than the 3.6? and as stable in a boxster?

I hope that supra is stock otherwise you'll be spending alot of $$$ and still get beat. There's a lot of 2JZ supras out there putting out double of what a 3.8L Porsche engine cranks out in the 500-900hp range. Regardless if straight line racing and accel is what you crave then you bought the wrong car. Even a 3.8L boxster probably couldn't beat a bone stock LS3 436 hp corvette that you drive right off the dealer lot.

Oh its stock, I just get tired of hearing him, Lets race, I will blow your doors off. I told him, thats not why people buy Boxsters. If I wanted to drag race I would have gotten a lancer or suburu wrx ???. I googled the specs on it and it is pretty impressive, 5.1 ish 0-60.
Actually I am considering it because I have the odd gene that makes people do crazy thrill seeking things. Or I just feel the need for more speed!!

actually I would love mine to look like Trigem's a few posts north of here. I have been looking for the perfect spoiler/whale tail for my Box. His aero kit look is spectacular.

Thanks mptoledo, its the factory Aero Kit II that is on my car minus the large wing that goes on the rear trunk lid. I also upgraded to the 2003-2004 rear bumper and deleted the rear bumperettes.

Thanks guys.. He is back home tonight, but going to another (3rd) Hospital tomorrow...
No one is willing to take on the intervention that he needs...
These Doctors remind me of Porsce Dealership Technicians... If its more than a routine job, they can't handle it :-)
