You want to restore the "Turbo" cult that formed when the 3.3-liter 911 Turbo was introduced in 1978?

First make the fastest accelerating and best handling production car.

Then add two turbos.

Yes. People should feel a tremor when they hear the word Turbo.

But isn't the car's current success due to being a compromise between performance and driveability?
And for pure performance, they have the CGT anyways!
Now that's an idea. TT CGT!!!!!!

I'd like to see TWO SPARK PLUGS per Cylinder.

This way we don't need high octane gas if boost is raised.

Adding spark plug count does not lower your octane requirements... the two are unrelated. The higher the octane rating, the slower the flame front travels. An extra plug may (but now always) result in a more complete burn, but again, it doesn't apply here. Plus, when you go to the twin-plug design, you are robbing precious space for the intake and exhaust valves... that is why you rarely see twin-plug designs... even MB is get'n away from it again.

Better suspension - Not one set up for pretty boys on Wall Street.
More Power? - I'm not too power hungry. 10% increase would be ok.
Better shift linkage - Again, Wall Street.
Less Turbo Lag! - I shouldn't have to buy a chip to have better control over the power of a $125k car.

My $.02
