I've posted this before, but perhaps it bears repeating? In the Oct. 1973 Issue, PORSCHE PANORAMA, Betty Jo Turner published her "conversation" with Ferry Porsche.
BJT: "But is there a limit to the size of the engine the 911 design can accept?"
Ferry Porsche: "It is more a limit for an engine in the rear than for an engine that is air cooled. Now, to put a water-cooled engine in the rear and to have a radiator in the front, that's not very intelligent."

It's too bad that Ferry is no longer around to run things...Today? Nothing Porsche makes new would interest me...even at the GT1 level, if I'd won a lottery, I'd buy Ferrari... It hurts me to say this. I joined PCA in '67, my first P-car was a '66 912. I'll continue to hang on to my '72S. But...nothing new that Porsche produces today truly excites me. Today's Porsches? They only want to be like other "designer label" products. So, tell me...just what is the hot desiger label ? Is Jordashe still in? Maybe we should all jump on it...in order to be "kewel"?
