Go spend you money how ever you want.

I'm sorry, by no means did I intend for this thread to become adversarial and I did not mean to insinuate anything about your background.

I think maybe I came across in the original post as a newbie regarding modifications, wherein I can see why you feel the way you do.

I am however completely aware of the marketing hype that is involved in many (not all) claims as to power increases.

The original post was more to understand where a boxster lies as far as tuning. As you have said and others, it is pretty well tuned from the factory and seems to be able to do well with minor bolt ons.

However I stand by the fact that a general broad statement is similar to a stereotype and there are in fact cases in the car modifying world where alterations in tuning capabilities are required.

I am afraid my justification for that argument was construed as a pissing match..

I apologize for that, and again thank you for your comments.
