Great thread. I actually told my wife yesterday that I enjoyed shopping for/building cars about as much as owing them. She got pale and said "you just bought a $173k turbo". I told her to relax, I'm keeping it for a while. Great car, but maybe could use an exhaust and better wheels. But she had just walked into my office as I was finishing a build on a Boxster GTS PTS 6 speed, etc.
Oops. Hey, at least it's never ****.
I bet an ongoing thread with current great deals would be very helpful to a lot of folks here.

Haha - I put 109,000 miles on my new '92 Miata S in less than 24 months. It was just that much fun.

It was a +$17 factory option. These things tend to cost more after the sale and through Tequipment. Labor is always more.

Definitely a better deal as a factory option but if you need to do performance upgrades after the fact... they do have after market options available that offer more hp and torque gains than a power kit and may even provide less weight in the process.
