The worst one was the new Fed Bumper cars of 1974-1977. The head bolts would pull out due to the soft magnesium blocks. I never bought one. I lost more than you on a nice 993 911 coupe which I sold for $35K. That same car would be $100K today.

I missed the 996-era due to still being mad at Porsche for going water-cooled. (I got over it).

I went to the 997.1, then to the 991.1, then to the 992. I owned a 2020 Porsche 911 bought before Covid (Feb., 2020). I sold it for a profit which says more about economic issues than Porsche stuff.

2023 Porsche 911:




I have a 2025 Porsche 911 due in 2 1/2 months. I obviously consider the Porsche 911 as the best car ever made with a few minor issues over 60 years.
