question - why did 911s cost so much brand new ?
its been asserted by seemingly knowledgeable people on this thread that the initial cost of the vehicles were related more to various economic factors.
now maybe you disagree with that assertion and believe that back in the day they were expensive because they were "over-engineered"
simply put, i don't believe the answer is, because they were over-engineered

901's can handle the horsepower of the day. hell, i run close to 300 HP thru the type 911 in my 914, and it does fine as long as i mind 1st gear.
have you ever pulled one of these cars apart? any experience working on them?
they were expensive. and they were over engineered in many respects (certainly not the electrical).
curious as to your angle here...
