Good points Ronzi. I agree with that all the way. They are an evolution company in all aspects of design/performance.

I remember reading why Porsche went with 3.6L vs. 3.8L in GT3 and I think it was because of the split case version of the motor as well as dry sump lubrication if my memory serves, but not certain so you guys don't hammer me if I'm wrong!

Not sure about the RPM deal, but the horizontally opposed motors make good torque throughout the rev range vs. most V or inline motors that you are comparing redlines to the Porsche motors.

Have you driven an S2000? If you can get/stay in the 7-9k range on the tach, you are ok, otherwise you are having your lunch eaten. Not as fun to drive, period. I compared them to 986 when I was looking and to me, no contest.
