If they don't change anything other than intakes and exhaust then there is no reason to purchase this car.

Agreed. Its already pretty easy to get 20-30 horsepower from aftermarket systems. I alraedy plan on adding atleast 20 horsepower with parts for less than $2000 by May.

kids calm down, don't call things bs just because it doesn't add to the performance. nowadays a lot of the "performance" things are just for looks. as long as it looks good it achieved its goal. "performance" parts are unnecessary if you just want to race. go Youtube "sleepers" and you'll see this guy race a grandpa's car beating off many of the real sports cars. that proves that added exterior parts is just for looks.

Devil's Advocate counterpoint: it could be like the Cayman R. Meaning, to build a Cayman R level of performance you can
A) option a Cayman S model with 90% of the items from the Cayman R, or buy them aftermarket, B) or buy a Cayman R. However, to equip the whole package (A) will cost you thousands more than just getting the factory R. Just saying; it all depends on the pricing. |

Definitely. I think I'll just enjoy the very capable and much cheaper version. ^_^
