Porsche cooling the heads on their race cars has been going on for many years. The 80's.
It make perfect sense to run a coolant through the cylinder walls.
The race car's iginiton point is earlier
People like me that don't track but drive a water cooled 911, have no issues passing
the strick smog requirements.
I always wanted a 911 but after owning air cooled Bugs (nothing wrong here), I passed for many years on air cooled SC's, etc. Air cooled in Sacramento was scary. Maybe not in Germany with a cooler climate.
My 99 Carrera is all I have ever wanted.
300 hp, 3000lbs. 10:1. Not mid engine. Rear engine. It is a Lear Jet with all the other
cool cars on the road screaming along as Piper Cubs.
Now... let's freak out with the bearing glitch.
1999's... 3 percent. WhY? Don't know. Single bearing vs duel?
When this 1999 Carrera 6sp coupe hits 160,000.... at 91k today.
I will sell it for 10K and put it towards a 2001 Turbo with 50k. Your life can end tonight..
don't worry... get what you desire and drive the heck out of it.
