THE TRUE RACING PORSHES MAY HAVE BEEN FAST, BUT THE SPEEDSTER THAT WAS SOLD TO THE PUBLIC WAS TERRIBLE. NOTHING COMPARED TO THE OTHER SPORTSCARS OF THE DAY. THE AVERAGE JOHN Q. PUBLIC DID NOT BUY RACE CARS, THEY BOUGHT SPORTS CARS FOR THE STREET. IN THIS AREA THE PORSCHE WAS NO BIG DEAL AT ALL. I STILL DON'T GET THE APPEAL. COMPARING A SPEEDSTER TO A HEALY 3000 WAS NOT EVEN CLOSE, OR A JAG OR A TRIUMPH. THE SPEEDSTER WAS A VW!!!
