North of $20K--yes. been saving my pennies for 2+ years for this. I'm guessing the difference between a 3.6 and 3.8 is not that significant since the limiting factor is not torque/HP, but traction and suspension to handle the over abundance of power. I'm not by any means an expert on the tech aspect of Boxsters and Boxster S's but except for the obvious interior differences, once you upgrade the suspension (wheels included), there is probably no difference in performance; unless, of course you think a 6 speed transmission is that much better than a 5 speed. I'm old school. Grew up on 3, 4 and 5 speed stickshifts. My reasoning is that 1st to 2nd gear will not be so quick a transition with all that low end torque. I'd like to hear your thoughts on this.
At one of the Drivers Ed programs in Memphis last spring I let an instuctor drive my boxster with all the suspension/wheel upgrades and 2.5Liter engine I had at the time and asked him after the session to compare it to his 2003 Boxster S. His response was that the difference in power was not noticeable because the handling of my car was so much better than his.
