I went down to the Ray Catena dealer here in NJ to stop by the parts counter for a fuel cap. (Beautiful clear day) The parts department is in a seperate building down the road and as I was merging(FAST) onto the highway a guy test driving the 987S blitzed past me. This guy was not test driving this Red/Tan S he was test racing it, he seemed (I could be mistaken) like an eperienced driver who probably owned other Porsches (you should have seen how this guy was taking the jug handle turn, very late braking going on). The sales guy was sitting pretty low in his seat while the driver just laughed like when Tiff Needell was drifting that Boxster in the top gear show. At full on power the 987 is LOUD and MEAN.

well the idea of adding more power to this car seem ridiculus to me. There is more than enough power already unless you plan to drag race it, which really is not the intended purpose of this car.
