Had a PM asking about the differences between the 2 Pcars since one was a 2.7l and this is a 2.5l

In all honesty, boxsters aren't remotely close to what I consider fast anyway - so for all intents and purposes, they are EXTREMELY similar in performance.

In fact, they are so similar that I couldn't tell the difference between the 2 cars if I was blindfolded.

no but with the right mods, none involving tinkering with engine itself, you can lighten your 2.5 Boxster down to within a few pounds of Boxster Spec racing weight, or ~2,600 lbs., but still be allowed to tinker with the car further in ways Spec doesn't allow, and on lap times it be be quick at any decently technical track. Fast enough to get a none too experienced driver up a tree. And that gearbox works better with the 2.5 motor imho.
