Just watched the episode of 'Miami Vice' with a Porsche 906 in it. Great TV show...great car! 
The episode is titled 'Florence Italy'...season 2

I'm partial to the 904. Guess it is mainly due to the performance with a smaller (4 cyl) engine. Also I think the looks compares favorably with the Ferrari Dino.

I personally think it's one of the most beautiful Porsche's ever produced. Just exquisite styling and so timeless.

Guessing you guys with the 904 aspirations have never had your hands in a 547 (4 cam) engine. 904/6 wins for modern-day practicality. Smartly, I passed on my one opportunity to "restore" a 2.0 4 cam cab about 25 years ago. I know I'll never get my hands in one now, but there ARE some things you just have to have the brains to avoid.
In any case, I think the 906 and 910 (more correctly the 906/10) are a huge leap forward. As were all the sports racers that came afterward.
