Was somewhat more of a 986/996 problem much more so than 987.1/997.1. Earlier dual-row bearings and later bigger 9x7.1 single-row bearings had a lower failure rate. 2001-2005 according to my...

Low resale = good argument to buy used if going 2.0.
The drag races above are kind of telling, the 2.0 doesn't exactly get destroyed by the 3.0 and MkIV, not to the expected degree. Granted, not...

$43k is hardly the cost of an "economy" car. And the FT86 comes with a limited slip at a MUCH lower price.

At $43k I'm still mildly interested if it comes with a limited slip diff (no electronic control is fine). But getting a little on the $$$$ side for a sports car that is IMO pushing it on weight at...

I don't think the Z06 or ZR1 ever sold in anything like the volume of the lower-priced "base" Corvettes.

Well for the most part there's nothing terribly wrong with any of the "old" underpinnings that might have carried over. Newer isn't always better, frequently cars evolve in the wrong direction.

The earlier 911s were a *lot* lighter than 1990. Hell, a 1970 911 (2250 lb) actually weighed about the same as a '90 NA Miata (2210 lb)! But then it gained more weight from then up to 1990 (3050...
