"Agree, but sometimes the factory purposely holds a car back. The boxster S could've had 280 hp from the get go instead of 250hp but Porsche wanted to bump up the power of the 996 first. The car got a 30 hp bump and they didn't even need to up the displacement. That tells me some of these engines have some untapped potential."
We will never know for sure what went into making those decisions. We can only guess, and that involves risk. Even if the untapped potential was really there, tapping it without the design process employed by the factory (design, test, re-design, test, on the car as a whole etc.) adds another layer of risk. My point was that these risks can be seen as costs and as such they are usually underestimated.
