The real question here is does the article's author (993 Porsche Carrera 2 Ditches Flat Six For More Power By Sarah Portia) pronounce her name "porch" or "porch-ah"?

Should have realized it was a RWB. So an 8 cylinder abortion instead of a 6? I can't believe RWB is still a thing and people are willing to overpay for such cheesy work.
