High Horsepower Boxsters

[alloystang07]

Thanks guys, i know im not looking for a muscle car, and i know what a muscle car is, and as much fun as it was, i am looking for something different. Thehe great price of used boxers is too much to pass up. I know this car is not about horsepower. I would mainly want it for the awesome handling and prestige. And i know the engine has problems with the ims and so forth. And believe me, that is already gonna be taken care of right off the bat. I am working that in with the price of the car, because i feel it a necessity. But at some point, i know i am gonna want more power.

If i do get a boxster, i would plan on twin turbocharging the car when i got the money and of course that would mean new stronger internals. But would it be better to get a raby engine, or would it be better to try to fit a x50 or x51 from a gt2 or turbo and then not have to worry about power? Those engines seem pretty stout as those were based off the gt1. And i would really like to get a gt2 or turbo but of course the price of a 911 is ridiculous compared to a boxster and way out of my price range at the moment.

TPC has a turbo kit for cayman/boxster and they have some good results.

Having owned numerous cars including 4 mustangs (3 gt's) It didn't take long to nail down a few of the biggest differences between My Stangs and my Boxster s.

1.) Every 7th car I pass on the road isn't a Boxster.
2.) The minute I hit the back road twisties, I realize I would have ditched my mustang at half the speed.
3.) Gas mileage seemed to be much better in my Boxster.
4.) I never smiled like I do now in a mustang.

Hey don't get me wrong, I loved my mustangs. Seeing I never drag raced them, I felt the need to evolve into a total driving experience not just a rocket attached to 4 wheels. Last time I checked the real world has curves and hills.

Put it this way.... If I ever had the need to lose somebody chasing me in a mustang, corvette or maybe a crown vic ( ) give me my boxster "s" on some twisties every time!!!!!!!!

From what I've read, the GT engine isn't a simple swap-in for the Boxster.
