The 2.0T Cayman's power has been underrated from the factory in a similar fashion like the Supra appearing in the Car&Driver's dyno video. Same about the 2.5T. Anyway if you want believe it , if you don't want fine for me. Fact is that people that had a chance to really drive it were impressed by the engine power. Golf R is back on power levels. About Honda I said that it is close, but it looks that you just want to argue for the argue ...

Sorry man. Sometimes it is hard to perceive the intellectual faculties of a person online. If you are struggling to understand analogies or examples then I can try to use smaller words.
I'm quoting you:

I mentioned top speed which is related mainly with engine's power.

This statement is entirely incorrect. Oh sorry, I forgot--small words. Those words put next to each other is a big boo boo silly head. Many different things with engines and tires with less horsepower can have a faster top speed. We see these things when we look at examples at the
extremes, which is just a big bad big word (I know sorry again) for things that have really big stufff and really small stuff like big trucks with big torque and small bikes with small horsepower.

Again, have you seen the dynos from any other performance cars out there with a 2.0T or 2.5T, or is the Cayman your only example? If you haven't then check out the Focus RS, Golf R, Civic Type R, STI, Evos, Lexus, Jaguar, anything. Have you seen how much power can be had from a tune or basic bolt ons and upping the boost? I'm with @
abraxis, any motor can be underrated from the factory and get the boost turned up. Here is a 2015 WRX [$25k car (not the STI)] with a FA20DIT making 344wtq and 313whp with a tune and a few bolt ons:

Here is a 2007 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX MR FQ-360, which came from the factory with 366hp and 363tq from a 2.0T in, again, 2007, from again, Mitsubishi. I like this line: "By comparison, the Porsche 911 Carrera 4S, which costs almost twice as much, takes 0.9 seconds longer to reach 60mph from rest."

Can you actually give any evidence for this statement?

Porsche is currently WAY FAR from competition in this area.
