I like this video for a Friday (996 rally drive 5min):


Sorry OP, I just realized I went OT, I'll delete if you wish.

And here all this time I thought they just put it in to stir up internet controversy

Oh I see. Now the thread makes sense.

In all my years as a forum dweller, I've never seen a better way to deal with contentious topics. This place rocks.

Yep, you got me. But since I've all but ruled out a 996, can you give me some dirt on the 993 so I can drive the prices down on those? (see, I can be sarcastic too!)

I didn't realize engine architecture would be a contentious topic on a forum for high-performance cars. Other than boobies (nice pic, btw), what else is considered non-contentious? Brake caliper color?

Anything about the IMS is tough due to the damage it has done to the value of the cars. The internet discussions have cost more in lost value than actual IMS repairs

Oil. Oil always makes for a good thread around here

Brake caliper color? Sheese you could start a war on that one. Same goes with oil. Just stick to boobies and we're onboard with that.

Understood. For the record, I was in no way trying to kick a hornet nest or contribute in any way to devaluing anyone's car. I certainly get why the bearing topic is touchy. Maybe "layshaft" would have brought less heat??

No worries from my end, I'm being entirely sarcastic. I know that she'll never sell that car so while irritating the depreciation issue isn't that big of a deal to us. I also don't lose sleep over our 13 year old factory IMSB either

IMS is used by Porsche so people can fear monger about the IMS on internet forums thus causing the used 996 prices to drop allowing me to buy the one drive one for last 4 years for the price of a new Toyota.

Define "lay shaft". All kinds of things are running through my mind........

Explanation: I am home with two days of chills and fever...feel miserable. I thought a couple of beers would help.
