Would a 911 still be a 911 with a V8, the Boxer-6 defines the car.

As "WADS" said's, they only are wrong in the position of the engine, it's a little bit primitive, but anyways with that mistake, they create what a quick cars ! but, they have proved that when they put the engine in the middle in a super car(Carrera GT,) they takes the things to a whole new level

The GTR is all computers, the 997 is more of a proper car, more mechanical.

I never knew it went wrong:)

What porsche does need is to get the fully 600 hp from that flat six then jump on to the next level something like a v8 cayman or that upcoming panamera coupe (if they change the back design) and they can set what ever engine they want in that 4wd car in the limit of reasonable.

and they can still back to the 911 when the time is right impressing every body.

Porsche have only got it wrong in so much as they continue to support the rear engined platform. Porsche engineers have admitted that the Cayman/Boxster platform is superior to the 911 design and most people accept that a Cayman with as much power as its big brother would be the quicker car.

NO Its not old . It's just legendary 8)

I wouldn't never take Nissan GT-R over 997 Turbo.

911 Rules !
