Aw shucks, lets just enjoy our rides before the Feds really screw things up in their misguided efforts to save the Spotted Dick Fly or some such damn-fool soon-to-be extinct critter. Jim - I'm sure you have a swell machine - but - you are the one who sniveled about the fact that if you wanted a Corvette you would have bought one. Well, same goes for me. I wanted lots of HP in my 930 - for a reasonable price however - not a Corvette. The car does not know which engine is in it - just ask a Sauber or Williams or Sprint car or Yugo for that matter. My V8 is approximately 60lbs lighter than my last factory 930 engine assembly. The HP is more, the cost is considerably less and the performance quite exhilarating. Brakes still work as before, coil-overs still coil-over as before, Weltmeister still weltmeisters as before and the look is still as before. Don't quite understand your whining.
