Guess the question remains, are these early 3.6s crap?

Porsche needed to make a profit. They're over-building of engines days nearly put them into bankruptcy. The early water-cooled would have been decent engines if you removed the Porsche premium and priced them like the short-cutted engines they all are.

If I had to do it again, I probably would have put my Boxster money towards a 996 GT3 (once depreciation set in of course).
At end of the day, the monetary value of a Porsche comes almost entirely from its engine. But I'd still need to Boxster/roadster which the GT3 will never be. But as a powerful, good for the long-haul, converted grand touring? it has its merits.
