[lateapex911]

Well. I'm not comparing CIS to a Kia....but when people are trying to split hairs, they tend to overstate things to get the point across.

There have been some very good and reasonable posts about the differences, but my point was that NEITHER solution is really ideal...each has it's merits, and flaws.

And yes, due to the difficulty in keeping a tight rein on emissions, air cooled cars have gone the way of the dinos.....

In the end, I think most people, drive their now 35 year old cars not as daily drivers, but as machines in which to revel in the joys of the machine, and if thats teh case, the '72...is more "911", due to the reasons discussed above.

Now, if the car is a daily driver (great!!!!!) CIS certainly has it's merits.

(This coming from a guy who has used nasty words when he's CMA'ed his MFI, rebuilt his own 911 engine, AND bathed in gas fumes from crappy Webers....I know the pitfalls of the non CIS world!)
