I agree with Cloudsurfer. It's not the 60 times that is as important as the rolling times. Driving a Porsche is like life itself--What you do on the straightaway is not as important as how you handle the curves. What caught my interest was Roock. My 1998 Boxster is in Roock Autosport in Atanta getting a 3.8X51 conversion. Should be ready in late Dec or early Jan. I wonder how it will match up not only to a 987 but how about a 997?? It is still a 5 speed but, with 18 inch Cayman S wheels, PSS-9's, rear strut and and adjustable sway bars and Quaife ATB diff. Regardless, it should be fun to drive. To me it is important to be able to get through of a corner quicker (with more torque, traction and stability). Did I forget the brakes?? Braking distances are at least as important as 0-60 time. Upgrading my brakes will be next on my project wish list.......alturodoc
