previous gap was only 20 something horses with ECU tune getting 3.6L to 3.8L power level. now it is totally different game, and even less price gap than before.

imho they killed base carrera with such prices, not sure who will ever consider weak 3.4L engine if $14K will get you into 400+ horses zone. i read that 9a1 engine relatively easily gets tuned into 450 horses area.

Why would someone buy the base model of either generation 911 who really wanted the higher horsepower? Wouldn't you be voiding the warranty to no real purpose when you could just buy the model with more horsepower off the shelf? Mind you, I'm not criticizing, just trying to understand the idea.
I've always assumed people who bought the base model simply didn't feel the need for those extra forty ponies.

Is Porsche making a couple previous options standard equipment on the new model? They usually try to offset the increases by adding some marginal extras into the base price... maybe a heated turn signal lever or heated lug nuts....
