FWIW guys, remember that peak horsepower doesn't matter as much as the area under the curve. It is, after all, kinetic energy that makes things move.

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.
