And, at least on a race track, horsepower matters far less than suspension and tires. My Spec Miata was 6 seconds a lap faster than my 02 Boxster S at Pueblo Motorsports Park despite the Porsche having 150 more horsepower.
And the interior of the 987 is an order of magnitude higher quality than the 986. I'm just waiting for the DSG before I pull the trigger on a new one.

I believe we all already stated that the 986S has more torque than the 987 and yes, that's where you get all your area under the curve so i believe we're all in agreement.
As for suspension, I found the 987 be much more taught and aggresively tuned than the 986. With PASM, even more so. I'll state that I never drove a 986 with any sport suspension options though.
