Not sure if this going to end up on the PCNA option list, but sounds like something the track guys would be looking for.

Also looks like they've done a major rework of the engine to get 311 HP out of a 1.3 liter engine.
... of course it could be a typo too. 
It sure sounds like Porsche is starting to make some racing noises with the Boxster.

How many HP/Litre is that ? 
A new record, I'm sure.
I like the idea of what they are offering--a track car set up in this platform for those that want it--without the complicated roof design of the 987 Spyder.
The lowered suspension would be great--as long as your roads/driveways are flat.

My "roll your own" research for the Audi was daunting. The lack of information on component mass, friction, existing rates, etc makes it very very hard to do. Depending on price and package per-requisites, if i were in the market for a new car, i'd strongly consider that option.
The 981 really does sound, and from the little track time i had, drive, terrific.
OTOH these things are trade-offs, which is driving me more and more to keep my boxster as is, and get a hard-core car as a stable mate. The two together will cost less than one new 981.
