The difference between the 3.4 Boxster and the Cayman S (or Carrera) engine is intriguing.
Meaning, e.g., the differences in maximum horsepower at the given rpms between the new Boxster S and the just-out-of-production Cayman S. The Boxster engine seems at first to be detuned, but the acceleration times and top speeds are somewhat similar. I'd like to see the gear ratios.
