"The men who designed and built it are universally acknowledged as masters of their craft. They stand alongside great musicians, artists as writers in my estimation"
Thanks for the laugh !! I was truly amused.
If you spend some time on this board, you will no doubt uncover the routine problems 911 owners encounter, and all these problems are accepted as character, or spirit of ownership, as if it has to be that way?
But it doesn't have to be that way. Lots of neat things have been invented to make our lives easier. Some Brits just have a hard time accepting them, (like when they forgot about indoor plumbing after the Romans left)
If the dear Dr Porsche was as brilliant as he is esteemed to be, then valve adjustment, oil leakage, tensioner problems, soft valve guides, fly wheel, etc, etc...wouldn't be so common as they are/were. But the are!
The facts so obviously present themselves here very frequently, it takes a deluded P-car owner not so see them. Those that aren't deluded will readily admit to spending lots of maintenance time and or money on their cars. KS has just extended the removal of those pesky nuances one step further than many of you. (as I'm sure many of you have taken steps to improve your car, as you weren't happy with the master's)
Having restored a car, I can take pleasure in working on a car, but having to continually dedicate myself to its preservation/adjustment is unattractive, I have a family and other priorities (as you can tell by the length of this post)
To me, it seems that KS911 has drastically improved his car for how he uses it. It requires less maintenance and it's faster. He has sacrificed the F6 sound, but that is really its only shortcoming , and quite worth the trade.
