What would you buy to replace your S?

It's clear reading comprehension is a priority in these parts
I guess the only real upgrade would be a newer Boxster S at a 'reasonable' price. But really, there's nothing that offers the same feel at a similar price as the S... that's why it's so special

true that but i want the V8 not the k20 lol.. but the t-rex revs to 10,200 so beautiful!!
On the great list of things we must have in our lifetime the 1,125-pound, 197-horsepower, 2009 Campagna T-Rex three-wheeler ranks just below chrome underwear and a glow-in-the-dark pillow case but slightly above a diaper-scented air freshener. Which is to say, the T-Rex is not for everyone.
There are several valid reasons for this. First, this wildly powerful machine, which is capable of roll-on acceleration approaching that of a Nissan GT-R, isn't a car at all. And we mean that in no uncertain terms. It's a motorcycle — classified as such by the Department of Transportation.
Second, it's evil fast. And by evil fast we mean just plain scary — like Death himself is riding shotgun, waiting for the slightest mistake to turn your thrill to regret. Every time we sensed some fun creeping into the experience, the feeling was overcome by the unfiltered fear of death.
But that's just us. Whether the 2009 Campagna T-Rex is your kind of vehicle depends largely on whether you like its unique combination of frightening speed and one-with-the-machine driving experience. And you just might.

I will never sell my S2000. Ever. It's too fun of a car to get rid of.
I will add a more powerful sports car to my stable eventually, such as a 911 or M3...but the my S2000 will be something I pass on to my kids some day.

You could put a supercharger on a Miata and have more than adequate power. The kits seem to be quite reliable. I'm sort of leaning in that direction if and when the S craps out.
It is an option. I would prefer a turbo, however.
