This ^^^^
No way am I ever drinking from the 996/997 owner/seller koolaide... I live 5 miles from a Porsche only repair shop. The guys there can swap these engines blindfolded from doing so many. And, None of them own any as their personal vehicles. That tells you a lot right there.

Sure, Air cooled cars need work too - but since when did a top end cost $20k? It's too bad because I like the 997's looks.
