Rarly...well spoken.
Listening to the self-appointed gaurdians of all that is "pure" Porsche and self-described "air-cooled nuts" gets old.
People have been stuffing engines from one manufacturer into the chassis of another forever. Unless the car in question is an irreplaceable part of Porsche history, what is the big deal?
Cars are an expression of what appeals to the owner. Go check out a GoodGuys meet and you will find literally thousands of different itterations of what constitutes "proper" or "pure" yet most of the attendees seem to appreciate the effort involved in each car (many of which cost far more than your average garden variety Porsche) without ripping on the owner for making the particular choices that he or she did.
Every time someone floats the "V-8" question, a number of people on this site seem to take it as a personal affront, yet nobody seems to get too hung up when cars are turbocharged, lightened, cut up, backdated, updated, PMO'd, etc.
Lighten up.
