Its for sale and not mine but... It's... I'm not sure!

Ran into this one. And you all thought my stone guards were awful! :-) it's alive!
But look at the HP! I am stunned.

I think that is a little "healthy" on the HP - the standard HP for a 3.6 X51 is 345, and none of the other upgrades (intake, exhaust, etc.) would add more than 20-25. So, either they are making up numbers, or they are leaning on the tuning VERY heavily.

Also, that is one of the ugliest Boxsters I have ever seen.

While beauty is in the eye of the beholder, you would hope for the reported $10k spent on the custom exhaust that they could at least get the tips aligned.
There must be something really wrong with my car as I'm making on the order of 60-80 hp less than this car.
