A high power, force induction m96 can be made, but a lot of the cast parts need to be replaced to handle the increased forces. The cylinders themselves probably need to be replaced with "nickies" as well to avoid ovaling. Porsche parts and labor expertise are very much more expensive than Fords. By the time you've built a 700hp boxster, you will have been able to buy an entire stable of Mustangs.

Cody,

Don't buy a Porsche thinking it's another muscle car, it's not. It's more than that and if you purchase one you'll find yourself in a whole new mindset of performance automobiles.

Think of it this way Cody...there's a joke about an old bull and a young bull on a hilltop overlooking a field of cows. The young bull says "Lets run down there and "do" one of those cows." The old bull looks at him and says "Lets walk down there, and "do" 'em all."

Porsche does 'em all.
