DC,

Thanks for the insight. Yeah, the SC was batting around $7 in the offer ranges. With the swap, I am getting everything...EVERYTHING I need to do this conversion right. Everything is at my disposal along with the Porsche Carrera tech who is doing the job.

I understand peoples feelings and love for the SC, that's why I am torn...but I also love the Boxster and think if Porsche would have given the little car a set of hairy nuts in the first place, it wouldn't have the stigma it has (of course it would have cannabaized the 911 Cabrio sales but...)

I know the history of my boxster and the X51 has all documentation from Chariots of Palm Beaches... Being that I only have this one shot (financially) for another 5 years or so to do something on this scale, I feel this feel in my lap at the right time. If I chose the SC, it would be an ongoing project I cannot tackle right now -- if I can in the future, there will be an affordable one to piucxk up that hasn't been "frankensteined"

I love my SC but I love my Boxster too. As it stands, I will be getting horsepower that is close to what both cars have combined...

Here is a pic of the SC and the Boxster, I am sure I will get hate mail on the top and two-tone treatment too lol

Thanks for all your comments, both for and against.
