2013 Boxster S 3.4L engine detuned from 350hp?
#31
If you know Porsche, you know they have a history of understating the performance numbers (0-60 times, etc). That being said, you are right, the great evaluator is the dyno, but understand that the dyno measure HP at the rear wheel; but HP claims by all manufacturers are stated as HP ratings at the crank, which as any informed tuner will tell you is about 20 or so HP more than at the rear wheel, so a claimed 315 on the Box S and a rear wheel of 290-295 as you suggest, would entirely be a credible HP claim.
Whatever the power is of the 981 S it's more than enough, especially considering where you drive it. I lived in Germany through 2009 and there power mattered a bit. In the US, not so much. I can't keep my wheels from spinning with the power I have now in the lower gears and not even under max acceleration. Why would I want more?
