... that is nothing like an old 911. Anything from ultra modern state of the art EFI on maybe the more innocuous and less "noticeable" end of the scale to the latest I see over on the tech forum, a 996 transmission swap. LS engines, completely reconfigured suspensions and brakes and on and on. I guess I just don't get it. These are very charming, quirky little cars, dated for sure, but it seems that many are eager to remove every last vestige of their "essence", for whatever reason. Seems like not only a fool's errand to me, but even more than that, some kind of an insult, at least at some level. There is already no shortage of cars that are already what these people want their old 911 to someday become. No need to ruin another example of a finite supply of a very unique little car. Just my opinion, and obviously some disagree, I just think it's a real shame to see these cars bastardized.
