What is the weight of the Porsche Boxster in comparison to the 914 and what size engines were available in them? Were there any quirks about the car that a person looking to buy one should be aware of?

Myself and LN Engineering are teaming up to begin a very serious bit of engine development for the Boxster engines, especially the 2.5 and 2.7 units.
I'll be halting aircooled developments for about a year as soon as we finish the roller cam and new cylinder head projects.. We are so far ahead of schedule for aircooled engine developments that it'll take 5 years for anyone to catch up! At present no one has made a serious effort with internal mods, head work, truly developed exhausts and etc for the Boxster engine... Thats about to change, my new lab was constructed primarily to support watercooled Porsche engine development... Soon a "crate" performance engine will exist for the Boxster, and it'll be done right backed up with a ton of test work, just like my aircooled engine program.. This is already underway.. Buy your Boxster now, the 2.5s are about to get a serious BOOST! Don't worry- all the funds this will generate will go right into aircooled engine developments... |
