£20k options on a 2.7 981 WTF

Yeah the prospect of a F4 and the fake noise having to be pumped in the cabin is a massive no for me. I read online the Cayman s will only have 300bhp and the gts gets an increase of 30hp. If this ends up being true, they really are becoming be golfs in skirts. At least make the thing faster if your going to put a blower on it. Upside being I bet the mod market is licking its lips. Could have quite a bit of fun running the blower

I would imagine that Porsche will go to extreme lengths to stop the tuners successfully remapping etc.

Also, surely the turbo will be relatively small? Remember that this is all about emissions and efficiency, not outright power.

While Porsches have never really been about 0-60 times, I'm afraid that if the power figures are true you are going to have the rather unedifying prospect of journalists doing track battles with 981.2 vs hot hatches and the 981s losing. I've just seen one of a Civic type R beating an M3....

My wife's 981 boxster has just under 20k of options on it ,I paid about £1500 more for it than for a similar year/mileage car with 5k of options on it.
I would like to thank the original buyer for taking that hit for us.
