I only highlighted that portion. If it was meant that our cars were the future of porsche then that is what i i'm talking about. Not the water cooling issue.

I don't think they were refering to our cars since it stated "the new water cooled porsches".

"I'm thinking particularly of 944's and 968's."

Keywords were that used.

Ever wondered why the Veyron is so insanely expensive? Because making it last in it's environment isn't like making a Fueler last 5 seconds...you can't ask a buyer of a Gemballa CGT or a Veyron to ride the thing no more than 100 miles between full rebuilds. That's the reason for the 7 digits.

There is "nothing" glorious about the 944 engine. I'll call it exactly what it is, the 944 engine is a Bitch. Plain and simple. It demads all your time and money and gives little in return.
...which is usually what people tend to call things they haven't worked out how works and go for huge displacement instead...65hp/liter is NOTHING. Which means that a 380 hp 350 just barely passed the stock 944 in terms of power per displacement. In other words,it has only then just started making power...

If somone can take this underpowered and over technical gerbil under my hood and replace it
Nuff said.
