Thing is some people who have never worked on an M96 or even know what an IMS bearing is have opinions. One idiot at a PCA event told me that he'd never own a Boxster because of the IMS and he'd rather buy a 2001 911 because now they are affordable. The Boxster he snubbed was a 2011. I just shook my head and walked away.

For as storied of a history that Porsche has, their engineering blunders are legendary in my mind. No engine builder is perfect, but damn Stuttgart...soy based wiring looms, lifetime sealed bearings (lifetime anything...hah), now ****************ty suspension hardware and weak con rods on an 8k redline application? VAG group as a whole has had a rough go over the last 30 years and I can only hope they do better with electric applications.
