I am sure ths has been discussed before but I couldn't find anything using the search. So, has there been a comparison done between a 911 six and big four, like Jake Raby's engines? Looking at:
1. Overall cost of engine (plus consideration of the cost of the conversion to a six from a four) 2. power hp/tq 3. engine life 4. other issues? |

As a strict cost comparison, the next time you are in San Diego you are welcome to stop buy and you can total up the reciepts for the four cylinder and for the six cylinder engines over the years. I am guessing that the four cost 3 times in maintenance over the same period of time that the six does? Besides, it is NOT the engine, it is the driver that wins the races!
