I pity the Porsche engrs who have to sit in at product planning meetings with sales and marketing . Imagine the following directive :
"You ( engineers) MUST forever artificially restrain the cars so that over all performance envelope slots in with base MSRP. Base Cayman must perform above base Boxster and never surpass Boxster S. Cayman S must perform above Boxster S and never surpass base 997 , etc., etc.. "
It's getting ridiculous- the poor Boxster gets constrained even more .
