The length of this thread is a giveaway to the inadequate horsepower complex people seem to have here, of course resulting in some going FI.
Crap, back in '86 the 5L Mustang GT was the most powerful tail happy car around with a whopping 225 HP on tap.
The only unfortunate thing is that the manufacturer will not offer a more powerful option, but they still make an outstanding product! If they did have more power they would never have sold the overall numbers I am willing to bet since everyone would cry why $15K more for the more powerful option. It costs a lot more than the material cost to make this car faster in stock form. And Porsche is one of a tiny group of car companies that actually make higher profit margin on material cost since they do budget a lot for other costs too. Its part of what constitutes a Porsche, not a budget priced Toyota/Subaru.
Buy this and add mods, or just buy an entry level or used Cayman/Boxster for more power in a similar package. Compact, light AND powerful is not in the economical category for most potential buyers here. Fortunately Mustangs are cheap in the US and are good cars now too but extremely different from the twins- like comparing a jockey to a linebacker.
