true power is nice.
BUT.....
as many many have experienced and can attest the 'power game' is an unending one. Eventually you get used to whatever you have at your fingertips and want more. Add some headers, more power, get used to it, get bored. A never ending list of modifications and you get used to it all.

Personally I think once you achieve a a very good power to weight ratio as the BoxsterS comes stock you are good to go.
250 hp per 2.5 tons of curb weight seems to be the magic range when a sports car seems to come "alive".

Now the handling of the boxster and the throttle response, torque delivery is something you NEVER get used to. Well at least I don't, Unless you spend a heck of allot time in the swiss alps doing time trials, I think you might agree that the Boxster's handling is world class.
Excellence Magazine recently had a Porsche round up of the greatest Porsche Roadsters and Targas and one contributor said "The balance and handling of the Carrera GT($700,000) and the BoxsterS ($60,000) are the best Porsche has on offer today".
