is why we have all these crapped out beat to hell 924s that are barely restorable.
people drive them harder than 911s.
if u don't have power, you beat up the car.
do some mods on your 924/944 and drive in lower rpms, stop beating them up going slow, and go fast.

so how do you explain the beat to crap 911s that have no floor pan? or the ones that sit in a garage for 7 years because they are missing fenders? or the pre-1980s ones with rotting rocker panels? i can go out and photograph more rusted and beaten 911s than any other model of Porsche. i'm not going to do it for free, but i can do it by driving within a 1 hour radius of my house. i pass by a rusted out one twice a day. it's a silver one.
i know a lot of people that drive their 911s very hard. they drive them like they were meant to be driven. i see more 911s than any other form of Porsche at the race track. the car has very good aftermarket support and their performance is well documented. anyone willing to jump into racing a 911 has a wealth of information to choose from for tire pressures, suspension geometry, shock valving, spring rates, etc. this is not as true with the other Porsches.
honestly, AMC, you sound a bit jaded. did you not enjoy owning a Porsche? we got lots of compliments on our cars from the people in our PCA region. maybe you live in an area with too many snobs? in either case your comments deriding Porsche owners because of their choice of cars are honestly not welcome.
