Boxster S ?
But the thing is....only a sw upload up the twin turbo Z4 gets you about 400 hp and 421 ft lb (Dinan $1999) , then add in the big oil cooler for $1699, and Dinan matches your bumper to bumper warranty guarantee.

His car is not even modified. I must say that I'm not much of a race car driver and probably that a good race driver would fare better with a Z4MC.
In terms of performance Porsche will beat the Z4 anytime.
It will just cost you a fortune to run it.

What is the cost like? Frequency of maintenance?
