Hello! Just making a quick post to introduce myself. Back in March, my company gave me a company car and I just recently decided to pass my 2012 VW GTI on to my little brother (he'll be paying me monthly of course) and pick up a Boxster! I'm super excited because I've been window shopping these for the past year.

Primary purpose for the vehicle will be AutoX, HPDE, and weekend driving through the great roads we have here around Los Angeles. I've been looking into 2.7 Boxsters with IMS done but am also considering 2.5. Although I'm a bit concerned with slipped sleeves on the 2.5 - but it'd be nice to be able to build towards a BSX or BSR set up.

I know there will be a few who say to get a 3.2 BS but I feel that the price ranges of those with IMS done - I'd rather save up a bit more and get a 996.

Edit* deleted a question I found an answer for.
