So it certainly appears if one uses BAT as a reference point that weapons grade 914/6 builds have been fully excepted as “worthy” the Porsche market.
Nearly all of those builds, however, have been high dollar endeavors, and while highly impressive machines many of them seem a bit compromised for actual road use or touring. Any thoughts on where 3.0 and 3.2 L builds that are not taken to the max now trade? |

To Jeff's earlier point, I appreciate him raising it and can see that—as a while back we decided to remove a lot of references to certain subjects in the writings we publish as a result of some of the more toxic discussions of late...I feel "Porsche" reading should be an escape at some level, and that some subjects distract from THE subject folks show up for.
And yet, as an editor I understand the application of the term for the discussion at hand—and instantly understood it to mean 3.6/3.8/4.0 builds with flares and all the fixins. So I can see this one from both sides... |
