I agree with most of the posts but also consider that the Hemi with 340HP will beat your Bosxter in a 1/4 mile, however, you will beat it at top speed and on a road course.

American car manufacturers think that building a sports car is just to place a big engine in a car frame and thats it. Look at the Corvette and Mustang. They both have 500 plus HP and will beat any Boxster on a drag strip. Are they good race or sports cars? I don't think so. How many races have they won? The Boxster will leave them in the dust on a road course.

Porsche has won more races than any other car manufacturer by a factor of about 10. They're in business to build road race cars and have been very successful at it.
