Pretty sure a 356 on bias-ply tires wasn’t pushing 1. something lateral, unless it’s a microsecond before the guardrail gets pounded. Nor do they accelerate or brake like an M96/97 car.

Don't guess you've ever seen an E Production 356 go into a corner first hand before..
The most race winning Porsche of all time is a 356 Speedster that had a wet sump engine. Today, the driver isn't someone I am personally fond of, but back in the day he was one hell of a driver, and still today NOTHING has beaten what he did in the 80s and 90s with that car in SCCA.

3/98 911 coupe

We had a MB Ml 350 amg I don’t remember what, an Audi Q5. In my opinion for the money you can’t beat an F150. I have a 19 super crew and that’s a house inside. Anyway, I’m on my third, my brother is on his fifth. My trucks sticker with the dealer add ons was almost $45, I got it for $28.5. When I go see my brother in Florida I drive straight thru that’s a 1,000 mile trip and it’s as comfortable as it gets. My Porsche wasn’t bad either I drove it home from Wisconsin 1,300 miles in 22 hours straight.

The market is crazy, BAT is the worse lol ....Some 996s are close to 997s in price, both offer the Taco look. Thinking if the 996 keeps climbing, its just better to get into a 997.

BaT auction isn't even cold and he's trying to make a buck

3/98 911 coupe

Friedman in NY keeps getting factory low mileage Aeros and had a few at
39, this was transformed. He may get lucky with a rich collector. For a few bucks more I’ll take this one.

This did well. Just don't bother with the comments

good video, however tittle is misleading all he says or states is that values have gone up. Which every one here knows. B3 if you have influence tell them to do a video about average selling prices , where there is actual data presented with prices. There is a guy that actually does this well, and he does it on a bunch of cars, showing difference between coupes and cabs, manual transmissions and trips , rwd, awd.

Jake Raby has stated "Porsche chose the VW TIV engine for use in the 914 and 912E" on his 912 engine tech website http://aircooledtechnology.com/porsche-912/

He can chime in. From reading online the motors share case and many parts between Porsche-VW. How else could Porsche expect the 912 to cost le$$ than the 911 to manufacture if not??

Not knocking VW: I own several and love them. I was driven home from the delivery room in a VW, & now DD a TDI wagon that is a veritable torque-monster tank!. Just horses for courses.

It's best to never bother with the comments. Bmdaia (Bdron) is verbally exhausting the same crap on every 996 auction, it honestly ruins the comment sections and I doubt they sway anyone's willingness to bid on (or more) for a car.

The 912E definitely uses the 2.0 liter VW Transporter (Type 4) engine that was also used in the 914 2.0 -- absolutely no question about that. The 1.6 liter engines in the 912's up through 1969 were all Porsche with no VW parts (I'm 99% certain at least, happy to be corrected). I thought you were talking about the early 912's in your earlier comment, not the 912E.

EDIT: The picture below I think is the 912 being discussed -- this is the early 912 with a completely different engine than the 1976 912E (which was a VW). The early 912 engine looks almost exactly like a VW Beetle engine, but the 1600cc 912 engine had no shared parts with VW and had nearly double the horsepower of the 1600 VW engine (102 hp vs 55 hp).

The article you linked is about retrofitting the 912E Type-4 VW motor into an early 912 -- that can be a practical option if you want to "hot rod" the Type-4 for driving your 912 while you keep the 912 engine original. The early 912 is pretty expensive to rebuild, and you probably lose some value if you go wild with engine mods on the original 912 motor to get more power.
