Good questions. Yes, the 2.5 is shorter stroke. But it's a fact that the 2.7 has a higher rev limiter and produces peak power higher. You could, of course, fairly easily tweak the 2.7 with a lower...

Of late there hasn't been much bias towards the 2.5, we've been talking about gearing.

I own a 2.5, but I suspect my perfect 986 would be a 2.7 with gearing from the 2.5. hardly biased in favour...

Dude, what on earth are you talking about? Where did I mention the 981 in my last post? I was talking about swapping gearboxes over, you can't possibly think I meant putting an early 986 box in a...

It wasn't just about performance. It was about fuel efficiency, too. Ditto features like stop-start and electric steering in the latest Porsches.

If you don't care about fuel efficiency, the 2.7's...

Firstly, my point re using the 2.5 gearbox is that I reckon it would allow the advantages of the 2.7 (including higher rev range) to really shine through. One of the reasons for the taller ratios in...

Ratios in the 2.5 higher than ideal? How do you work that out? The 2.5 has nearly 10% lower ratios 1-3. They changed the ratios for the 2.7. So both had ratios to suit the engine, though I'd actually...
