I still don't understand this never ending need to up horsepower.
Me thinks it betrays the whole concept of a roadster. These aren't meant to be miniature corvettes or vipers with convertible tops. It's like tossing red meat out to the masses, most of whom never attend formal driving instruction or participate in any level of grassroots motorsports yet complain of insufficient power.
If anything I'd like to see a new Boxster that uses clever methods to lighten the car: lighter wheels, lighter chasis, lighter door materials, lighter engine components, less pottery barn inspired interiors. Seems like Porsche has given up and is selling to Starbucks yuppies who decided Lexus and BMW is passe and Porsche is the new it car.
