The 981 will see 365HP easily with a tune and the low end grunt improved. The 6 speed is a different animal car is too easy to drive to add PDK IMO.

For sure. I've seen 981's with race headers and a stage 2 tune dyno 330 WHP, which is 370-380 crank HP depending on correction factor (13-14%). Basically stock GT4 power, but with the ~instant shifting PDK. I realize GT4 can be tuned too, to much more than that, but still pretty crazy.

I am finding that now more than ever the focus is on speed and what I call winning at DE. These cars are making novice drivers faster needing less driver skill and knowhow. So many of these drivers climb into older cars and are scared to death of them without the nannies there to protect them.
