No, twin turbos would NOT improve the Boxster. Be happy for what the Boxster is.

335 is a beast. I own one. The Vishnu chip is for real -- plenty of folks have showed dynos. Without the chip, the 335 is a very (very) fast car.

That said, the 335 sits in my garage. I pick the box every time, lately even on rainy days... Why? The Boxster has much better throttle response, better steering feedback, much better clutch/shifter interaction. These things really matter. The 335 is more refined, but its just not fun to drive. You can drive the Box thru a corner with the throttle, the 335 just doesn't talk to you the same way.

Would more torque help the 335? If so, I would never have bought the Boxster.



drburton -- I was going to buy an M3 too. But after owning 335 (my 4th BMW), I've lost faith in BMW. My next car will be a Boxster too (unless I decide on a Cayman...).
