Randall, actually it can. As with most engineering designs, the final solution is a result of some sort of optimization. In this case, one needs to maximize air flow AND minimize debris getting into the engine. As Topless suggested, I will leave it to Porsche engineers to find that optimal spot. They want to get the most performance without risking damage to the engine -- same as I do. Our motives match closely, hence our optimal solutions have to be close.
