I shed a tear reading this :(

Oop...my brain is backcwrsd, sorry! AIR! OIL!

[CurrusDei]

Now, I'm in the water-cooled or nothing (!) camp, but I like new ones too

Wait the new ones are water cooled. Did you mean air cooled? Air cooled ran up through the 993s in 1998. Water cooled is 996 to present

Now, I'm in the water-cooled or nothing (!) camp, but I like new ones too, and new technologies. There is something unmistakable / undeniable about the flat 6 sound, the growl, the harmonic induction howl at WOT. I can hear one coming a mile away and I stop what I'm doing to see where it is.

Hey the old 912s were 4 bangers and sounded great. Turbo 4 is more tune-friendly.

"Soul" is a very subjective concept - lot of Porsche guys would say anything water cooled has no soul (I'm not one of them, but they're out there). It comes down to the driving experience in the end.

Just think about 25-30 years from now when everyone is talking about how 2017 Porsche's had so much soul, and their modern Porsche's have none.

Is it similar to a newer Subaru then?

I'd imagine you could make some improvements via exhaust/intake, but I think the N/A growl my 996 made with the gundo exhaust hack was exquisite :)

Matt Farah did a one take with one, I think it was a Boxster. Sounded awful. I don't care how great the power band is. It has no soul.

718 GTS

Has anyone heard one of these in the wild? Turbo flat 4? I think I'd take less power for the sound and the smoothness of the 6.
