I dont speak for the guy on Rennlist who owns the car. Just going from random threads over the years Ive read. Take it up with him if you want to get into a pissing contest. Personally I think anybody who street races is a wanker. I dont care it they are driving a Zonda or a shitbox Chevy.

Never said Porsche is more reliable than Honda. Jesus H, Ive owned a Honda for criminy. Had an Integra. However given the cars I owned, my 944T is the most reliable car Ive ever owned. Put 150 glorious miles on it this weekend in 90 degree heat and it ran like a top. Most Porsches are pretty reliable. What happens is the parts are more expensive and people cut corners and decide not to do the routine maintenance. The car gets neglected, runs worse, breaks down more, and it gets blamed on an unreliable car, when in fact, its just lived under a history of neglectful owners. The service intervals for most Porsches are not crazy. But you are gonna pay more for parts and labor. Sometimes a lot more. And for those who find that a problem, they should own something else. Problem is, that usually doesnt happen and they jump in thinking a new water pump is gonna cost $4.99 and be stocked at Pep Boys.

Would I put that much dough into a 944? Unlikely. Id probably just buy a 993TT. Id rather have an NSX than a Civic with $25,000 in upgrades in it too.
