I'm not real fond or this type of post/thread. What makes you think the guy wanted to race? A Boxster/3.2 in the hands of a good driver would eat you for lunch. You say "debagged" (it's de-badged, BTW), maybe you were hounding a 2.7. I have a 2.7 and it's not a rocket, but it handles very well.
Nice looking car you have there.
Did I say that I don't care for these type of posts?
