Only 10hp on the "S". Less on the non-S model

I've heard that if the PORSCHE letters were properly applied to match the radius of the rear spoiler that you can get up to 12 extra HP on the S.

Honestly, it's this kind of talk that starts these senseless rumors. There is absolutely NO basis to the position or separation of the letters further increasing the hp in the S or the base model.

You guys are killing me, I thought it added 8.25 hp to the base and another 3% downforce.
Thanks for the responses.

The downforce increase is due to the disruption of the laminar airflow over the trunk lid. The P O R S C H E lettering has a greater frontal cross-section than the Boxster script emblem.

Get outta here!!! Really??? You sure about that??
Actually you're right. It's those air vanes that give you performance and grip, not HP. Durrrrrr....

Letters on the trunk
Why not put the entire service manual in small raised letters...that way you would always know and never loose traction

It's a little known fact, that if you spell porsche backwards on the trunk lid, you can get even greater gains in both hp and downforce, not to mention how kewl it looks.
