Porsche can do the mid-engine thing just fine.


Leaky? Deathtraps? Apart from the boxter and cayene, I've heard nothing but good reviews about Porsche reliability if you service them regularly. Safety is on par with other supercars and they're handling is pretty legendary, especially in the last decade or so.

the RR layout is inherently flawed and they have a rep for oil leaks. theres a couple other things porsche has done that i dont like as well, like claiming something dodge did seventeen years ago is a new technology

My Porsche doesn't leak, is very safe, and has the superior mid engine layout.

Whatever, dickhead. The Caymans have 2.7-3.4L engines, 911's are 3.6-3.8. It accelerates right w/ the base 911, and outhandles all of them ex. perhaps the GT3. I knew all about it when I bought it, had previously driven a 911, and still fell in love. I paid it off less than 3 months after I bought it, so I could have easily bought a 911 had I wanted one.
