The thing that going to turbo will do, however, is allow buyers of the "lessor" model line to chip the car and equal or surpass the power of the more premium Carrera buyer..... Something that couldn't really be done before with the engines being naturally aspirated. Some 911 owners will be smoked by some of the tuned turbo Boxsters and Caymans.[/quote]
The only "problem" with this theory is that the 991.2 is also going turbo, but with the flat six.[/quote]
Yes, true...my assumption is that many Carrera owners won't tune their cars, and those are the ones that get owned by the lessor models that do the tuning.
Check out how a tuned Audi sedan leaves a 997turbo behind:
