Add to this list of Hard-to die-Fallacies
 

Some practices/believes that don't seem to die out:

"The car has to come to a full stop before the Odometer can be re-set"

"Disconnect the battery with the engine running to test the alternator"

"Test the CDI by checking for Voltage on the coil with a test light"

If you know of any other ones, post them here. SmileWavy

You have to lower the compression ratio to turbocharge an engine.

If you shave your chest the hair will grow back thicker.

The early 911S isn't good for street driving because it's cams are too peaky.

Turbo tie rods make a BIG difference.
Muhahahaha!

The same is true for your...wait is this supposed to be about 911s? crap this is okward... :rolleyes:

A well set up 915 is just as good as a G50. :D

I'll save money by buying a 911 that needs some work and then doing it myself.

this from the guy who just had to rebuild his odometer :rolleyes:

Placing the motor behind the rear axle makes sense.

These cars oversteer!

CIS is a cheap & easy FI system to maintain!!!

CIS is easier to maintain than MFI!

<i><b>... this from guys who have spent thousand$$$ on alphabet-soup CIS parts to repair their systems using the 'Shotgun' method of troubleshooting!</b></i>

Ha - Warren stole my thunder... I'll add one tho:

"CIS is a good system for a sports car"

Said to an admiring crowd "I'll just lean in the window and start her up"...

Trickle-down theory.

"Galvanized tubs don't rust...."

"The only way to get CIS to work properly is by spending a lot of money and swapping in a lot of new parts in a shotgun approach to solving problems!"

Oooh-oooh I have a few

G50's weigh 100lbs more than a 915

930's have too much lag

Why are Porsche parts so much more than a Small block Chevy

:rolleyes:

"I'll save some weight by putting on RS door panels"

carbon fiber cup holders... I can go on...

Carburetors work better than CIS.
CIS is expensive and complicated for everyone, not just for those who don't understand it and try to fix it with the shotgun approach (replace everything until the problem goes away instead of doing a logical systematic diagnosis).
SSIs will get you 20 hp throughout the powerband.
Loud exhaust is better.
$100 per hp increase is a reasonable price to pay.
The big bad oil companies are conspiring to rip us off.
Changing from CIS to EFI is easy and fast.
911s should be drag raced.
Wings on the street are cool.
Installing carrera pressure fed tensioners is actually an upgrade.
dodging cones at 30 mph in a parking lot is really racing. ;)
