Does this include not being impressed with the 997 4.0?

Yep, pretty much. My comment was based on "overkill engineering" more than anything else. The Cayenne engine is certainly over built.

BTW- All those failure pictures on the FB page are just a sample of what we have.. If I shared all of it, no one could handle it. All we see is blown up carnage.
