Overall, my 986 just felt more lively and the sound of the 2.5 was much nicer than the 2.7.

Don't get me wrong, I did like the car. In fact, if I didn't already own a Boxster, I probably would have made an offer on the car.

I was thinking it would have noticeably more power, but I didn't feel it. Guess I should go test drive a 987 S to see a difference in performance.
Should have mentioned that all mine are S models. MY 986 is a 2004 S and the 987 is a 2008 S and there is a tremendous difference.
