There is a another way to look at this. The Boxster is a brilliant design but IMHO, a fragile one. These cars cannot be hammered in the way that say, a C-5 Corvette can be. The tolerance for stress above what is designed in by Stuttgart is minimal.

If you trade them for a living like I do, you get to appreciate just how much maint. and repair these cars actually require. This is not a bad thing, just what a Porsche is all about.

I for one am NOT surprised that a SC would not be a good thing for a Boxster.

Now if you want a faster Porsche, they do exist. They are called the 911 and I have one in stock!
