"Z, are you bothered by the fact that the 07 987S's will have a 3.4 liter in them? Was this a factor in your decision to buy an 06?
Just wondering. Putting myself in your place, I'd be pissed that for similar money I could have gotten a larger engine."
Randall, I try not to be bothered by hypotheticals. Life's too short. Fact is that the news wasn't out yet when I bought my 06 (mid-May). I would have preferred (and paid more for) the 3.4L engine if it was available but in retrospect I would have still done the same (bought the 06) even if I knew about the engine increase.
Reasons:
1. Time is $. Didn't want to miss this summer without the S. (And boy am I happy for not missing it!) What good is a 3.4L coming to me in October only to be sitting stored for the winter?
2. The discount I got for the 06 off the lot was very enticing -- probably not even close to the price I'd have to pay if I ordered an 07.
3. We're only talking about 15hp (5.2%) power increase.
