I don't like you Speeder (because I'm a brainwashed, low IQ, MAGA disciple who relies on Rush and Shapiro to shape my entire world outlook for me), but I concede that you make a lot of great points and have a great sense of humor. So my close mindedness mandates that I dislike you.
But, I have owned five 911's and 2 914's and completely agree with you about the 3.6 being the most direct route between two destinations.
I have a 3.8 that the experts say is prone to piston wall scoring. I only have 28k miles on my car but if and when this motor lets go, I will bump up to 4.0 or 4.1.
I don't care about originality or retaining value or any other purist rationalization. I'm going to die (maybe today, maybe 20 years from now) and I don't care how much the car sells for after I kick the bucket. My wife has zero interest in owning a 911 after I die and she will simply sell the car, collect the money and blow it on shoes. That is a Fact.
Very few of these cars are actually "special." They are to be consumed, not conserved.
Every person in this car hobby should do whatever they want to their car. This is why Magnus Walker is the envy of so many. The guy simply gives no credence to what anyone else thinks. More power to him and anyone like him.
