My favorite poster of the moment is on the exit of an underground car park in Heidelberg.

Just picture this - larger than life on the wall at a curve in a one car wide tunnel....

now you know why there are skid marks on the wall.....

Always amazes me how many hard core Porschephiles have their head up their ass.
Porsche are currently building junk in case you didn't notice.
Just look at the value of your used 996/986, it's not just volume either.
These kinds of failures are not normal in an under powered under stressed 6 cylinder engine.

So why hasn't someone put out a Subaru WRXSTI conversion. Boxster engine, serious HP , reliability, and lots of after market support? I for one would be interested in a twin turbo set up. I know blasphemy.

If they are such junk engines, why get another junk engine? Just sell it and get another brand of car.

I like my Porsche, I know some people have had grief, but I want to have a Porsche. If reliability was my priority then I'd buy a toyota. If,....If.....If.... I just want the driving experience of a Porsche which I can't find anywhere else. My head isn't up anywhere - I just know what I want.

If you have such a negative feeling why are you still here?

Porshce have revised the engine a couple of times and it is much more reliable. but this has now become a label, like the dual mass clutch in the 964, it doesn't matter now many cars don't have the problem the few who have suffered it will tell the rest of the world that Porsche is crap.

And I really don't want a Porsche with another engine bolted in....unless it was a Cayenne with a Honda diesel engine or hybrid motor, that would be worth doing
