I would sell it and buy one with a 3.2l engine in it.

Even doing this I would start out with an S model. There is more to the S then just a 3.2l engine.

Yes, the brakes and suspension are "better".
But I had more legal fun in my 2.5 than my 3.2.

Well if you measure fun by how hard your right foot presses for how long and how you have to drive the car and not just get tugged along by a big displacement, then my 2.5 was more fun than my 3.2 even though, by measurements, the 3.2 was better.
My 3 prior roadsters were all less than 100HP (1.3, 1.6, 1.6) cars so my 2.5's 200HP felt more than adequate. I drove the Alfas/914 harder than any of my Boxsters.
The Spec Boxster race cars are only 2.5s, BTW.
Just a different way of looking at things.

We already know the S has better cooling too and according to Renegade Hybrids it has a better drivetrain.
