Good point about the 911 staying true to its roots…it’s a constant evolution of the car and the main reason why it is such a solid car from design, engineering, and performance points of view. In regards to the 'NOT ONE other car…" comment I’d say the Vette would be a pretty solid contender here. Granted the first few generations changed quite a bit…from late 60’s until now the car has grown much like the 911. Even today when many others are relying on OHC and turbo’s the Vette’s got, more or less, the same pushrod motor from way back when, just improved a little bit:) Either way…that ‘green’ car is pretty sick… ---

I think the Cayman is a better overall chassis/driveline setup than the 911 will ever be… Its just a shame that the 911 is still thier top dawg so they will never give the cayman the motor it deserves. ---

I agree wholeheartedly. That’s also not going to stop somebody from taking care of the motor problem on their own… :snky: [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/ruf-997-r-kompressor/15023.md?page=3)
