You mean the looks that haven't changed since the 60's

That wouldn't be a bad thing if the car were pretty. Aston Martin, for instance, hasn't changed much over the years, and yet no-one's complaining about that. But when the car is ugly to begin with, and then it never changes, that's a different story.

You Porsche guys are nuts!! Are Porsches really that great? I've never ridden / driven one, and to be honest, never been that big a fan of the looks.

I own one of the junkier Porsches - an '86 944 NA. I like it enough that I'm constantly fantasizing about an LS swap. It's a tiny car. I'm 6'4" and I have a wide build. I sit on top of the bolsters in the Mustang seats and they are somewhat uncomfortable for me because they are too narrow. The ergonomics in that tiny Porsche are awesome. I have a lot of head room and the steering wheel and pedals are positioned very well.

The car has 50/50 weight distribution and weighs about 3,000 lbs. It feels like a little go-kart. The chassis is much stiffer than the 2004 Z06 I used to own. I bought the Z06 because of the Porsche. The one thing I hate about the Porsche is it doesn't have enough power. I wanted a light, low car with a transaxle and V8. But I didn't fit well enough in the Z06. I didn't fit at all with a helmet. So the Z06 is gone but I still have the Porsche and I still want to do that engine swap.

The newer Porsches I think are a little too good to be fun on the street. Too much grip and the power comes at high RPM. And I think they are too expensive for what you get. I always try to get the most I can out of my money.

Why so much?

I do have eyes. I can see exactly what I'm "missing". It looks like a stepped on Beetle, and they put the engine in the wrong place.

There's definitely been some evolution. Every step of the way has looked damn good.

You should see an Optometrist!

27 hours to do it is part of the reason I'm guessing haha.

Yeah I see now. The video music in the beginning sucks but just forward it.

Hell, how much does the oil change usually cost on the mustang?

 

[CJJon]

What a shit design if it takes that long to change oil. Rich folks sure are suckers.

Just the cost of oil and filter.

Nooooo surely not. I buy my own and do it. 10 qts of MC 5/20 full synthetic is 52.00 and filter is 18 I think. So 70.00 in parts. What’s the deal charge for those that take it to the dealer was my question.

And, one of the ram's for the spoiler is leaking.

I think that car is ugly.

Seriously guys, now we are beating up on Porsche's. I'm sorry but if I had an extra $200k laying around I'd buy on of these in a heartbeat. Right after I bought my Aston Martin

VW brought the Beetle back? Not sure I like the new body style.
