I believe we're both making the same point, that hp isn't everything. A new tweeked Z06 is almost 20 seconds faster around the 'ring than the old standard version. That's a huge difference. And I believe a standard vette with all those upgrades would handle a 991S too.
Frankly, the couple of hours of driving a 991S I have had have been pretty underwhelming.
