these are all necessary changes.
imho, porsche has been very complacent on the horse power race. even in the 1990's, porsches were getting out-gunned by japanese cars.
now, the same thing is happening - lexus and infiniti's are both putting out over 300 hp's for 6 cylinders. to me, the V6 getting 300 hp is not that big a deal and was the minimum required to keep up.
