986 3.6 conversion vs 987 3.4 DI

Curious to know what the performance between these two would be. H.P. is about the same , I think torque would be different? Can the 986 3.6 hang with a more modern 09+ 987S . Just engines not any other mods.

986 is lighter & you can add power during engine swap/build. I would think the style you prefer would decide which way to go

Jacabean, your new Roock should be plenty fast and I prefer the look of the 986 over the 987, though I may be in the minority.

My sentiments exactly.

I don't know has anybody ever tested a 986 with a 3.6L swap to see what they can do? The 2009+ Boxster S puts out some pretty serious numbers. 0-60 in 4.1 sec and high 12's at 110ish mph.

those super quick 0-60 times are with the PDK
