I used to own one of those Jap cars, an 05 STi with 330whp and 400wtq. Car would run low 12's with a low of 12.0 all day long. That was with exhaust, WI, a tune and some mild match porting of exhaust manifold.

I now drive a 2000 Boxster and though it is slower, it is a truly enjoyable car. It makes beautiful sounds, is fun to drive and is a nice looking car.

My point is, they are different cars for different things. Boxster was never designed to be a race car, just a nice sports car. Let the ricers go and just enjoy you Boxster for what it is, unless you have loads of money and just want to do things the hard way. Then go right ahead. It's only money.
