Main Force Patrol said:I tend to not drive mine in fear that the mere act of looking at on the drive the engine would fall out in a pile of score marks, rust and broken metal
In fairness the hit rate of failures does seem higher in this forum as opposed to say the Lotus Forums were I used to hang out, putting aside the K Series engine head gasket failures and sketchy build quality resulting in rattles you kind of get used to
I guess it is fair to assume that a company like Porsche wouldn't have designed in some inherent engine weaknesses, especially when the cost of repair is so high ?
P.S. Still a magnicent car though :grin:
To be fair though, there are a lot more 996's around than Lotus', AND they tend to get used more. Let me remember what Lotus stands for, Lots Of Trouble Usually Serious. :thumbs:
