If you guys couldn't drive a Porsche and wanted the sports car, convertible feel.. what would you drive.
Hi,

Sorry for your troubles. But, realize, it's not that they can't fix the issue, it's that they refuse to fix it. It would require a whole new set of tooling and casting, and that's too much for their profit picture to absorb.

But, I think the word is out and I expect Porsche to come out with a new engine design, the M97 engine in '09 under the guise of some improvement, all the while ignoring those saps who bought into the M96. Payback for Pottsdam...???

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99

Jim is right.

Porsche CAN fix this issue but won't until they HAVE to.

Sad but true.
