So, we have an S sport w/303 hp and a 320 hp S. Getting a bit confusing, eh?
I assume the Orange S sport has the "old" engine? Just how will they sell a $70k 303 hp car vs. a 320 hp one for $60k?

Yes, the S sport has some goodies, but why not drop in the new engine at 320 hp?

Got it. S sport interim model, old engine. New 320 hp and new engine available in U.S. in March.

Gee, order one with LSD, get 320 hp and ask for RS green paint. That would be a super Cayman.

And I believe they fixed the oil starvation problems like they did for the 997.2.

Just thinking out loud for now... I am thinking about replacing the '02 Carrera in the Spring. It would have to be a daily driver.
