987 vs 986

I own a 2003 Boxster S and the difference in hp from the new 987 and mine is 20hp. Performance wise there is some but not enough to get rid of the my car now for a new one. In a couple of years then I might reassess my situation and see how Porsche has evolved the engine further in the 987. It is my opinion that the engine of the Cayman S will see itself in the Boxster. At this point you are talking almost 300 hp which should be optimal for the Boxster.
The more rigid chasis is a plus and the interior accomadations are improved as well as the rest of the car. I ultimately will get the 987 S but only when the engine is up to the Cayman's specs. Guessing performance of under 5 secs and a top speed of over 170 mph. That would be a 1/2 quicker than my car now at 260 hp.
