Why not?? With a bit wider track and the 3.8 with coil-overs from the factory and GT3 seats (as an option). 400HP and light it would be able to keep up with the Z06 and would fit into the same GT class. That is how they could create racing lineage in witch Porsche has always been proud of.

I do not wish death for the 911 but just pointing out that Porsche does now have a better platform.

I don't see the 911 going anywhere.

I do see Porsche madly trying to figure out how to get more HP out of this flat six design w/o turbo. Personally, I think they need a 400 HP base 911. to be competitive in the HP wars.

I also think they need to step up and run GT1 in the AMLS. Head to head with the C6R would be plenty fun to watch.

This leaves plenty of room for a 330 HP Cayman and Boxster.

I see no logic for the Box having a smaller engine than the Cayman.

Porsche management bites!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


IMHO!
