Message	So power isn't a huge advantage. The Porsche can put the power down sooner, and easier. The Porsche has a better power/torque curve generating a much more useable power band. The Porsche can brake later. The Porsche has better aerodynamics. The Porsche pulls away on the straights. The Porsche is not prone to heat soak as much as a Z32.
