This reminds me: I (remarkably) remember setting in an engineering class thinking I would never graduate in time to save enough money to buy a reciprocating-engined car. This, when "the rotary" was going to sweep the automotive world.

From what I gather, most of the HP and Torque gains from the X51 are at the mid to top end of the rev range, which won't help all that much with an initial launch. And let's not forget the X51 makes the car heavier, as well.
Also, I could be wrong (and someone will probably chime in and correct me on this), but I think the SportDesign Package on the 911 test car might actually make the car slower versus one without the SDP.
