Hopefully they recognize the start was not great and do quick second gen SL with improvements to compete with P cars.
The problem as I see it, from a performance standpoint, is that the SL is just so morbidly obese. The ~800 lb weight penalty prohibits it from competing with any 911 variant, regardless of its high HP and mounds of TQ.
