I NEVER UNDERSTOOD HOW PORSHE EVEN GOT STARTED WITH THEIR SUCCESS. THEIR EARLY SPEEDSTER THAT WAS THE ONLY STREET MACHINE THEY SOLD WAS A COMPLETE P.O.S. IT HAD NOTHING MORE THAN A SOUPED UP VW ENGINE AND HAD SEVERE OVERSTEER. PLUS IT LOOKED LIKE SHIP. WHEN YOU COMPARE THE EARLY SPEEDSTER TO A TRIUMPH, AN MG, A HEALY, A JAGUAR ETC. ETC. IT HAD NOTHING TO OFFER. I JUST DON'T GET IT. BUT THEN , . . . . WHAT DO I KNOW?
