Porsche hold back on the 987 but relative to non-gt/turbo 911's they don't hold back THAT much. People put far too much value behind 0-60 times. 61 mph is where the fun starts! Take a 10/10th's flat out right hander at your local track in a 987S and see if you think its lacking in power.
I'm not following your logic. If you think the 987S is already better performance/looks than a 997 Cab, then you must consider the the 997 the biggest robbery of all? I appreciate the fact that you may consider Porsche poor value in the larger scheme of things (Corvettes, etc), but the Ruf Boxster seems pretty darn good value when compared WITHIN the Porsche brand. That's all I'm saying.
