I would highly recommend that you spend a good couple of months driving the car and get used to it and learn how to "tame the beast" as is before tampering with it. Learn about the car first,how to access the engine,oil change,etc. Trying to acheive more speed on a Boxster is not a cheap process,you probably better off removing weight from it.

As we say on the motorcycle boards, the best way to improved performance is a diet.

So true. And really as in with bikes, when you wanna go faster, just buy the faster model. NO point in modifying a 600, sell it and get a 750 or litrebike.

Same can be said with the Boxster. Buy an S or Carerra when you wanna go faster. You gotta pay to play.
