I agree with Boxster44... first lose weight. We Americans are all overweight anyways. If your not worried about safety, start cutting out extra metal and start replacing panels with Carbon Fiber.

Look at the Lotus Elise, only 189 HP, but only weights 1984 lbs. Its running with a Toyota engine.

I like both luxury and speed. Stripping the car down to nothing to make it faster is a cheap way of doing it but I would rather save up and add a lot more HP and torque to the car I have now and add a leather dash, body kit, repaint it properly, put a glass window top on it, and have a tricked out super-fast boxster.

A Raby 3.6 or 3.8 might just be what I'm after.

I do love the idea of turbocharging it though. I wonder if he's ever taken his largest motor and added forced induction.

I'd ask him directly but his mailbox is FULL. I bet I'm not the only one asking for this and dreaming on Christmas day!

Merry Christmas folks!

Here is a pretty good thread about supercharging the boxster.

My idea for the ultimate boxster would be to put GT3 Cup suspension under it and the a Cup motor and trans. I don't think this would be the "fastest" car in the world but would be a hoot to drive and a monster on the track. I have also thought about doing this to a cayman but havent found the right car to tear up to do it.
