Wondering at what point did Porsche start to offer the Sports Crono option for Boxster S? Also, from what I've read the Vario Cam Plus engine was initially begun in '07 but do the earlier year models have such technology? I really like the performance of my '07 Cayman S with Sports Crono and with Boxster S prices falling - well, there looks like there's going to be some really good deals on well optioned cars.

Thanks Mike. I've been surfing used car sites. Many dealers call it "sports option". I predict that in a year there will be '05 Boxster S cars at or near $20K.

In 2003 VarioCam Plus (variable intake valve timing with low lift and high lift) was added to the Boxster line up. The 996 NA and turbo-charged engines had VarioCam Plus earlier.
I do not know when the Sports Chrono option appeared. (I know my 08 Cayman S had it.)
Sincerely,
Macster.

So it looks like '05 Boxter S is going to be the first YM with that boss combo. Now, if a buyer could find an '05 Boxster S with sports chrono and PASM... that car would be something very special.
