You make a valid point, American heart in a German car... Although on paper it sounds great, I wouldn't want the Porsche gods to hate me lol.

As for the EJ's those engines have problems just like ever other engine, the 2.5's suffer from the ring land failures and head gaskets. The whole oil starvation is easily fixed with an oil pressure gauge. Keep an eye on it and you will be okay. The only other oil starvation i've ever seen is guys running VERY stiff suspension with R-compounds on exceptionally long turns (the sweeping right at mosport park for example). There's pros and cons to every engine I suppose. I'd like to stay in the Porsche family.
