Very cool indeed... there's so much more to the .2 vs the .1 than just a facelift. I miss mine... Was honestly the best daily d I've had.

Gpjli we appreciate not saying anything nasty, and I can tell you NO ONE meant disrespect in any comments. Simply stating how good the engine is. Better words can surely be said, but the comments meant no disrespect to ANYONE. Sorry if you or anyone takes it the wrong way.

No, I was asking you if the power difference was noticeable between gen 1 S and gen 2 S; I do have the gen 1 X51 and wonder how, if at all, it differs from the standard, non-Powerkit gen 2 S.

A local acquaintance has a '10 C4S that I look forward to comparing with mine, but I haven't had the chance to drive it yet. Our horsepower is similar.

Me trading up right now?? No chance! I'm still in the honeymoon with mine and can't see "upgrading" any time soon.

I was quoting the OP on the power of the gen 2 S vs. the gen 1. I quoted an excerpt from his original post that he attributed to me--I have never driven another 911 (except my Uncle's long-gone '85 over 20 years ago).
