LS – ya bring up some valid points.  There is a block of Porsche cars to go after for years of fun free driving (and for a tidy little stable investment – do the Carrera or SC) go after these:

1 – 1980 thru 89 911 SC’s and Carrera’s (the 78 and 79 SC’s don’t have the TWC and still have an air pump and EGR to meet tough US emissions standards); and,

2 – 2010 to 2012 997’s.

That’s it.  Of course at the other end of the spectrum is 1976 911 with factory thermo reactors still in place.  BUWHAhahahahaha

PS – Alas, the pressurized chain tensioner is NOT the answer to the chain tensioner problem.  The answer is updating to newer (930.105.509 & 510)Chain wheel supports.

120k before a rebuild sounds early unless it was raced.

What about the pre '83 cam chain tensioner issues? 915 gearbox industrialism? Now, RMS and IMS?

Great cars, but not for their "engineering".
