951s are cool cars... After having ripped through almost 3 now with my buddy, I have both respect and disgust though...
There are somethings that are just amazingly smart. You look at things like the stock external wastegate, and the intake manifold design and such and I'm like... Wow, they're smart. (they were the first with a "turbo timer" if you will... pretty sweet.)
And then you tear apart a block and see how it is, IMO, overcomplicated (crazy girdle/mains/two part block...) and the crazy torsion bar rear suspension. And I'm think to myself... maybe this was technology limited, or maybe there were reasons of doing it this way back then...
Then we changed a clutch...
Eff you Porsche... eff you.
