But people have been saying that as long as I have been a P car owner (going on 12 yrs now). I imagine they have been saying that a lot longer than that. Heck, there was only a 15hp difference between a 993S and 996. Further, some would say that Porsche lost the N/A performance war when the F355 came out and they haven't tried to keep up since. There's only so much you can do with six cylinders.

IMO, the real problem these days is not HP but weight. Sure, I'd like to see 400hp in a 997S. But I'd like to see them take 300lbs off it first.
