An extra 15bhp, a little stiffer suspension and a tweak to the set up to give livelier steering.
I would think $5k would do it....and you end up with the same drive but still have the extra seats and extra boot space as well as a wad of cash left over.
Porsche drivers would be queuing up to buy such a car!!
Or maybe not.
there's much larger differences between the car than just the give and take between the power and weight and the firmer suspension. the difference in driving dynamics is enormous - can't compare a car with 50/50 weight distribution to one that's 40/60 (or thereabouts - not exactly sure) F/R. not to mention the shorter wheelbase of the 911.
