Wow, that is NOT encouraging!

Hi,

Porsche diagnosed it as RMS Failure, along with it's Red-Headed Stepchild of a Cousin... wait for it... Intermediate Shaft Failure!!...

I've done some casual research and cannot find another Model from any Marque, since the M96 introduction, which has essentially continuous inherent failures as Severe (apparently immune to Care, Driving Style, etc.) or anywhere to the same degree as the Porsche M96 Engine. Weren't we Bashing the Corvette just last week???

I know... I know... Great Car (when it performs - the Key Turns, the CEL stays Off, the Windows operate, the Top closes...), Outstanding Provenance (what have you done for me lately?), YADA, YADA, YADA...Can't wait to hear the Die-Hard Porschephiles speak up defending the Marque... sorta gets me feeling that I'm standing in the Crowd at the Party Rally in Nuremburg... Sieg Porsche!!... Porsche Uberales!!!...

Happy Motoring... Jim'99
