I mean it's really small, they just did it to make Cayman owners feel more special or what???
Did they just choke the exhaust a little? Cause it doesn't take a lot to have 10HP...
I'd be interested in seeing dyno results between an 09 Boxster S and Cayman S cause I wonder if there really is a difference.
Pure marketing crap to me...

It's pure marketing in justifying the higher price of the Cayman S, as many have criticized Porsche for charging more for the hardtop version of a car that costs less to build than the convertible version. As for the 10 hp, probably computer mapping. I have an '08 Boxster S with PSE, and went in to the dealer for an oil change. The service tech offered me a free upgrade to map my car the same as an RS60 Spyder. I would imagine that 987.2 Boxster S owners will do the same to put out 320hp, as it will probably be software not hardware that will make up the 10 hp differential.
