Does this need to be a question?

Whatever Jake is selling as his biggest hp engine, I would recommend that to toss into the car. Obviously, he can build you an engine, and can price it to whatever level of crazy fast you want.

The second gen 997 Turbo DI engine can make over 800bhp. If money's no object and you're looking for a car that you can't control and would most likely be no fun to drive around on the streets, that's your engine.

I think the new GT3 engine would be the ticket... it would result in many many big grins I think...

Randall, you might want to talk to this guy:

I learned a few years back that "Big Power" is somewhat of a let down. Very few places you can use it and when you do, you're going stupid fast and the consequences of screwing up rise exponentially. JMO.

Fastest where?..... autocross, track, drag strip?

The video clip showed a subaru powered light weight tube frame (I think - what 1200 lbs.) that looked mighty quick.

Shear power? - turbo

combo handle/power.... not sure at what point the Boxster dynamics can no longer handle increased power - I've heard around 350 hp... beyond that you need a way to 'tame' it. Your car doesn't have all the electronic magic to start the taming process.

start by stripping the car. get it down to 2400-2500 lbs and see how you like that. should be a great first step.

I'm sure Raby could build you a 3.6L or 3.8L turbo with about 500 hp if you so desired. Of course the price tag would probably be about the same as the sticker price of your car.
