I completely agree with you. I have always made a habit of modding the cars that I have owned – everything from a broken down Volvo 740 Turbo I drove in college to several very hopped up Mustangs that I have owned more recently. When I purchased the 987, I immediately began thinking of improvements, but to this day have not found anything that I feel worth doing for street driving. This car is the first car I have owned that, out of the box, has a performance envelope greater than my skills as a driver. Whether this means I drive a world class car, or I have just found the edges of my limited ability, I don’t know. Either way, from my perspective, I enjoy driving this thing every day the way it is, and do not see a need or point to adding 10HP.

Others though, may see it a bit differently.
