It depends on who you are really. If I was older and had a steady job, house, family, ect... and I already had my boxster for a year and/or paid it off and had it as a weekend car, Id 3.8 it. If you love a car, you do, nothing you can do to help it, and I know that a 3.8 boxster, with pss9, and a new gahh top would be the sweetest car ever. Now add a 996 front conversion, ruf rgt bumper, sideskirts, GT3 seats, gemballa rear bumper with the exhaust out the middle of the bumper, short shifter, and some nice wheels and you have litterally the awesomest car out there. The best part is, you can keep it for as long as you want since you have space for it and a second car as a dd. Thatd run you like 35-40 grand, but if your not worried about resale then who cares. Plus the 20 grand for an older boxster and youve got a super 60 grand car (cayman money).

I've considered doing a larger engine in my 2001 S. I have already sunk a lot of money into it on other mods. The Boxster doesn't have to be my daily driver, but I make it one because I enjoy driving it. I've also considered upgrading to a 996 TT, but still fall back to the fact that I like my Boxster. Yes there are a lot of them out there, but the are a lot of 996's as well. When I go on drives with the group of Porsche guys, I am one of 2 or 3 Boxsters. Everyone else has some sort of 911. I like being the different one. I would really like the car even more with a 3.8 in it. The current plan is to keep the Boxster for awhile, but with me that could change. I seem to average a new car every 1.3 years since I turned 16. I've had the Boxster for almost a year now and I still am doing modifications. It's nice to have a car that still looks good no matter what year you drive.
