O wait, thats precisely what happened last time.

I love Porsche to no end, but this is completely true. What Porsche really needs to do is man up an create a flat 8 4.0L engine to compete with the newer shit from everyone else and stop bitching about their lackings in some areas. Fuck the purists and their holier than thou attitude when it comes to this topic. Personally if Porsche wants to shove a flat 10 or 12 in the car I'm all down for that.
I mean who the fuck in the right mind uses the back seats in a 911 anyway
. If they just lost them completely, there'd be more than enough room to shoehorn two extra cylinders into the already overbloated 997 platform and make it work. It's not like the 911 is the compact sports car it used to be back when the 993 ended the aircooled lineup.
New GTR does look mean in all aspects. I want to see more of that cage peeking through the windows though
