Thinking to buy a used Boxster and as longtime Porsche fan & owner : 911SC & 914, Just wondering why the "Spec" Boxster's are built from a non-S Boxster? - besides that their more plentiful and a bit less expensive to buy. I am really just wondering: Is it the that the five-speed transmission gearing is more 'fun' than the S's six-speed box? There are seperate classes for each I am guessing but which makes a 'funner' race car? And don't say: a Boxster with an RS engine, GT3 lump etc..
