Porsche 944's

Except that the transaxle vette stuck around for the last 25 years and there is no reason to change it. the front engine porsche died in 95 with the 968. But, now that I look at it, the FR Porsche lived from '76 to '95, which is only just shy of 20 years.

ummmmmm the cayenne(S, Turbo, Turbo S) has always been front engine...an suv, but still front engine. just saying.

Ummmmm 1st year for a trans-axle in a Vette was 97

Touche. I, for whatever reason, had it in my head that the C4 was transaxle. I don't know why. My old roommate even bought a T56 from a C4 for his Olds manual swap.

No one cares about those.

944s and 928s are bad ass... Oddly enough, if you talk to the guys who own and drive these cars, most of them will tell you that the 928 is the more reliable option. They are actually really well done. Porsche's first try at a water cooled production V8 and they nailed it. It's too bad parts are stupid expensive or I'd own one.

BimmerTim - if you drove a late 70's or early 80's 911 back to back with the same vintage 928S, you'd probably change your mind. The 928S's were faster, handled better, and were better built...

I've never driven a 928, only an older, 78ish, 911. And some newer stuff.

One of my coworkers has a 356, but he won't let me drive it. When he pulls it out of winter storage, I'll continue to try though.

I just don't see why so many people think that because a front engine Porsche isn't a true Porsche. I mean ya of course there most known for rear engine and thats whats most common but there front engine cars have been great. Alot of the older ones had problems with the dead wight of the rear engine making them want to spin out and hard to control and the front engines were a break through pretty much with the 50/50 wight distribution. And of course there front engines give use poor people a chance to own a Porsche :p
