Interesting review. I remember hearing similar "underpowered for the chassis" ambivalent reviews when the original Boxster came out, and now THAT car is prized for its simplicity and balance. I think this is just how Porsche does it - tests the waters with an underpowered initial car (924, 944, Boxster, Cayman) and then brings out the big guns to knock our socks off (951, Boxster S, Cayman S). I suppose this doesn't apply to the 911 - even the "slow" version is plenty for me.
