If you really want to move with ALACRITY and DISPATCH...buy a top fuel dragster. Just don't turn any corners. That very point is what everyone is forgetting...you won't beat them in the quarter mile, but you will smoke them like a trout (write that down) in the twisties. TWISTIES PEOPLE...TWISTIES! That is why you bought this car! Say it with me...TWISTIES...Tuh-wih-s-tees.

The boxster is not a ricer and does not respond to modding very well.
I think enough of us have broken our ax on that point, costing us countless dollars and pain.

Which, actually in a way is kind of nice--it keeps us from having to spend money on that sort of thing.

Best bang for the buck after reading posts from legit posters on modding are:
1)B&M or equivelant shifter.
2)Desnorkel Mod for the sound (NO HP GAIN!) (FREE!)
3)Strut tower braces...I believe it was MNBoxster who said these make a huge difference!
4)Driving School...learn to drive the car correctly and you will be rewarded!

Yes strut tower braces for front & rear. Thanks to MNBoxster and Rail, the boxs now can Tuh-wih-s-t better plus a good scratch on my hand from installing the rear
