The Perfect Porsche not to own!!!

[doneitnow]

It appears to be that no matter what Porsche we own the majority of us love them for what they are regardless, however, it is quite amazing the amount of posts that pop up stating that Porsche batteries are bad, Porsche lights are bad, Porsche engines are bad etc etc, is this not quite surprising for a top marque!

So just a bit of fun, if we list all the bad parts and put them together, what perfect Porsche "not to own" would we come up with?

996 can't be that bad it never had a PDK gearbox...

The 996 on stilts you mean, a.k.a. Cayenne

Batteries are never a problem, I always use Bosch not Moll

Headlamps aren't good. Going to do a conversion. Plus side, main beam and fogs on all the time. Just like the little mongrels that meet up in car parks with rubbing lowered suspenders!

Come on chaps, do you have such short, er, what's the word? Oh yes. Memories. How about an original 991 GT3 engine?

There must be a few features on this Porsche that you wouldn't want:

You also need;

911 Pre Galvanised shell
986 Rear plastic window
928 Electrics
Cayenne plastic coolant piping

[Wilmslowboy]

From the well loved 993 range , I would also add

Windscreen scuttle, 4 speed triptronic gearbox, 4 spoke steering wheel, rear bumper support,

Boxster could offer heat shields, RMS and finally 997 S early exhaust tips

You know what i'm getting a bit fed up with people constantly bashing the 996, One day all you bashers will realise what a good car it really is and is a lot nicer to drive and handles better than most if not all aircooled Porsche's ! All i can say is if you don't like the 996 just don't buy one ! It's a bit unfair for all of us who own a 996 to constantly read this rubbish !

Merry Christmas to you all !
