There are several theories (as you have indicated) as to why our cars are prone to RMS issues (as are the 911s). Of course Porsche denies they have a RMS problem but we all know that they do.

However, I would assert that the most important issue here is that the company that has engineered our masterful cars cannot or will not get the issue resolved, irrespective of WHY it happens.

In my experience, a RMS can strike on any year Box or 911 and I have not found any particular year to be suspect. They all seem to be.

I do know that I have had several 911s that have had multiple RMS repairs and some that have had none. To me, that seems to indicate a build issue rather than design.

Alas, that is just my opinion and the issue goes on.
