Sputniks,
You know a lot of things I don't.
I own four Porsche 911's. 1965 2.0 race car, 1968 2.0 race car, 1987 3.2 coupe and 1989 3.2 coupe.
No, UNDERLINE NO Porshe will go 400,000 miles with or without anything!
After 20,000 to 50,000 miles tons of things start to go wrong. And I mean tons. God forbid you put one on a racetrack. You won't need to wait for it to go wrong. Last year we built four engines for our 2.0 liter cars.
So, let's look at the street versions. Only 18 years old and 16 years old. No problem. One has 29000 miles and the other 46000 miles. Just beginning to break in. Right?
Wrong. New brakes, rotors, suspension, exhaust and now clutch for the '87. Also the headliner needs replacement. The radios suck, the mats are gone.
But, that's not what I love about my Porshes'. I love that they are fun and they're not so fast that I'm a danger to the world while having fun. If you start with the premise that you're willing to replace whatever goes wrong, it's hardly possible that anything will become obsolite.
We race historic Group C/GTP cars. That is cars that ran professionally between 1980 and 1992. There aren't a lot of parts stores with spares for $100,000 1000hp engines, but they still need parts and we have them machined as needed.
I bet you could do a little better price vs performance point by moving up to a current production model table, but, who am I to talk, I drive a 1988 Group C car of which there is one, yes, one in the world.
Your complaints are funny, especially since you can cure them with money. An easy solution in life.
