I also own both - a 2002 Mini Copper S with the JCW engine (200 hp!), suspension, exhaust, and brake packages and a 1999 Boxster BSX. They are completely different cars but I'd definitely take the Boxster over the Mini any day.

In regards to making over the car for the track, the Mini will be MUCH cheaper although the feel of a front wheel drive car on a track can never match that of a mid-engined, rear wheel drive pure sports car like the Boxster.
