Absolutely, at least the air-cooled ones were. Their engines were bullet-proof. Not really keeping up with the water-cooled ones because as a traditionalist, I don't really consider them to be 911's, with all due respect to current owners.
With all due respect, of course, to air-cooled owners.

Well, the water-cooled models are essentially proving to be pretty bullet-proof, are better looking (at least to my eyes), are much faster, and have much more modern technology than their older brothers.
With all due respect, of course, to air-cooled owners.

Porsche is still a great car though and still more reliable than the Ferraris and Maseratis of this world. Enjoy your Porsche.

For me, the Maserati engine note (particularly on the S model) is actually much better than even the M5. This thing sounds like a Ferrari - as it should, as the Maserati V8 engine was designed and built in Maranello...

Yes indeed, but there IS a definite correlation between a sexy woman's curves and a sexy car's curves!
I'll take curves over straight and skinny any day of the week...
