Porkers will always have a certain amount of Kudos and the 911 in all guises is still a special car.
Sometimes i dont think people stop to think how good the zed actually is so from a performance angle there`s not a lot to be gained.
Also remember that a 5 to 10% failure rate in manufacturing is just unbelievable and far too high to be acceptable.
You have to take on board that for every 100 cars on autotrader between 5 and 10 will need an 8K engine.
Its a shame as i am a poker fan but that is also the reason the 996 are cheap. Pay your money and squeeze those bum cheaks every drive
