To the point: Boxer engine is famous for tq dip

granted ive never driven a porsche but id imagine that since the entire tq curve is set higher than the twins that you dont feel as much like that youre dragging when you hit it. similar to the old honda vtec, having a crazy peak in a powerband isnt a bad thing, but having a trough where you are stuck for a chunk of your powerband with roughly 100 tq to the wheels makes it feel slower than it is. the old na caymans curve appears to be shallower and you have about 150tq to the wheels at their dip.
again, just my .02.
