Question about this graph, and I apologize in advance if this sounds dumb - but here goes anyway..
Assuming the black lines are stock, if you look at the power curve it appears to be building and building until it peaks around 6,900RPM. Right before the peak we also see a surge of power. I assume Porsche tuned this power curve to feel more “NA like” which builds and builds as the revs climb - more excitement at the top of the rev range.
Now looking at the red line - you reach peak power at 6,850 RPM, but the car reaches just about that peak about 1,000 RPM before. Basically at the top end, the power curve is flat.
In terms of feel, while the tuned car will absolutely feel (and be) faster, I wonder if the car will feel less “revvy” because the power curve is more or less flat beyond 5,900 RPM.
Now this is just someone reading the graph so I might be completely wrong. Would love for folks smarter than me to chime in with their thoughts.
I know you were looking for smart folks to chime in but here goes anyway
I understand your concern on this, however I will say that my T is noticeably faster in every gear as you surmised, and at no point does it feel flat, or like its falling off at all.
Anything north of 6000 RPM is a screaming frenzy, and I'm just trying to grab the next gear before I run into the limiter.
Obviously this is just my experience and opinion but I wouldn't let the slight differences on the graph deter you.

The important thing you will feel is the tuned torque curve. Look how flat it is compared to stock! It has a very NA feel to it and is something we worked hard on to perfect for this platform. The power does drop off up-top due to the small turbo size, it simply runs out of breath.
It really does, it hurts to look at it! HOW can someone get in this and think this is the best car? HAHAAA, I hate to hate on Porsche Cars at all but like this was horrendous and asking, no begging to be made fun of.
But like people said here, I am so glad someone did get it because we can see all the insane builds out there
Firstly congrats, but SMH regarding the above. What kind of comments are you receiving?
I've only had positive comments, mostly liking the contrast to the body paint. They couldn't tell it was carbon fiber until they had already commented and got closer.
YMMV, could be that the people who hate it, just haven't told me
