Curious to see what you think of the TPC racing kit. I’ve always heard mixed reviews of them, but I think it was mostly on the tuning.

Stunning, Matt. Gorgeous color. A G-body 911 driver who is very talented can only hope to barely keep up with Boxsters. Maybe. Boxster S...no.

Enjoy.

I like the extra punch, I like the supercharger whine, and it basically runs like a standard Boxster. So no complaints. But I also wouldn’t spend $10k on it, for the money I would expect a more pronounced difference. That’s assuming that it’s making full boost, I’ll be checking that at some point just to make sure all is well.

Sorry, couldn't resist

That blue is very nice - and with forced induction, too? Score...

Haven’t even checked yet, pretty sure the supercharger kit included a K&N cone filter. I need to pop the lid and do some looking around.

In a move that will surprise exactly nobody, it's going up for sale.

I need to stop buying Boxsters. Great cars but not really me.

Wow, if only I had money burning a hole in my pocket and a place to put that. 3.4L? I thought they were 3.2L until somewhere in the 987.1 period, then they got upgraded to 3.4L.

Crap that’s a typo on my part. The 996 was a 3.4 until 2002 when it was bumped up to a 3.6. Boxster S is a 3.2L.

Beautiful car, Matt.

I've wondered what it would be like to own and drive a Boxster.

Considering none of my 3 Porsches have air conditioning - and I live in Florida - that alone makes the idea attractive.

To get an example as nice as your is at only $15.5K is very very tempting.

But alas....I'm getting ready to re-roof my home so that pretty much trumps everything as far as priorities.

GLWS!

Nice Boxster. Probably not the best time of year to sell one in the midwest, though...

I never had to buy one to know that they're not for me.
