Now that I have that idea - I looked up the Exclusive - and beyond the 27 extra HP - another key is that 553 lb ft is on all the time - no overboost function of brief 553 levels. I think that is big. Porsche doesn't claim any better performance from the standard Turbo S - except 0-124 MPH - where they say it is .3 seconds quicker. About exactly what I thought your ET would have been at your altitude before you showed up with a 10.5.

"The 3.8-liter twin-turbocharged flat-six is fitted with a model-specific powerkit, boosting output to a stunning 607 hp and 553 lb-ft of torque. This is 27 extra ponies over the regular Turbo S, and while that torque figure is unchanged, the ES has 553 lb-ft on tap at all times—the pedestrian Turbo S only sees that peak briefly with the standard overboost function."
