Upgrades?

[ntmatter]

I'll also add my $.02 - the Edmunds article is right on. Several years ago I turned a nice '98 Viper GTS into a race track beast - 500 HP at the wheels, extensive track mods, race car aero, the works. For tens of thousands of dollars I got a car that was maybe 1.5 seconds faster around the track, and 50% less drivable on the street. My 01 Box (which I just traded it for) is so nice to drive that I don't even want to mess with the exhaust tips.

I firmly believe these days that a car like the Box is about as well built as Porsche can make it given a budgeted per-car cost; and they get their stuff wholesale. If you want to spend money on the car, get some Litronics and XM radio - if you want more power then get an S or a used 996 Turbo.
