Ok, I'll post an update on my thoughts here...
First of all, I won't be doing those upgrades for a while. Not for a few months at least.
I have a new g/f and I need to spoil her...these upgrades can wait, although I love driving so much, I kind of care about her more. It's a toss-up, though
I can join PCA, I read about it a month ago when I joined these forums, but I am not sure what they do or what they're about. Their website isn't very detailed.
I already mentioned I don't want a drag racer, just SOME more power.
I don't want just an auto-x'er or a dragster, I want something that can do both, but what about when I'm not on a track or a course? Then what? How will I get my thrills? It's not that hard to push the pedal and rev high, and without that added power, how can I replicate the feeling I get from hard acceleration and speed?
There is no way. I can learn to be a better driver all I want, but that part would still be missing.
I picked the boxster because I knew it was a lightweight, precision handling vehicle that would be fun despite the lack of power, but I still find myself wanting more power. I'm sure you've met people like that, and if you have, then you know what they're like, so try to empathize with me.
I'm not one of those sunday cruisers with wind in my hair kind of guys. I'm a hard driver, and I know saying that makes me sound like more of a vette guy, but the fact is, I am a boxster guy, I just need a little more from the car. Nothing wrong with that.
It doesn't even have to be power. How about reducing weight from the car? I'd do that in an instant, and before someone says, "well, why don't you lose some, fatty?", I will reiterate my point earlier as it applies here: No matter what I do to myself, the car ultimately will have to change, at least slightly.
I will invest in PCA, though.
