it is all about price point, the 944 turbo was faster then most of the 911's and the 986 S is very close, but you cant insult the Carrera owners by having the entry level machine be faster, same reason there wasnt a coupe for so long. If you look at the Porsche company vision, they will be moving into more markets to capture more market share, but it will always be up scale not down as the margins are better. In the end the 911 is the model that keeps the company profitable year over year which is what the shareholders want.
