I'm a fan of European cars, I don't think American luxury brands can hold a candle to the Europeans.

But as far as GM and the LS engine platform, that shit can not be beat in pretty much any fashion.

Fuel economy, cost of modding & tuning, cheap parts, easy/cheap to work on, reliability ...
That's why you see many LS swaps into all kinds of cars including BMWs.

Yes, the 996 is the red headed step child of the 911 line. I used to own one. I LOVED mine and can't wait to get back into a 911, a 997 this time. For all the people that sort of talked crap about it, even me ...when you got behind the wheel of one you'd forget about all the bs that people said.

BTW I put 20,000 miles on mine in 6 months in 2012. Best fun car I ever owned even though at any time I could have had a blown up engine. But if you do some research the IMS/RMS issue happened to guys with 911s with extremely low miles for the cars age, basically dorks who buy cars and not drive them. 997s up to 2008 have the IMS/RMS issue as well.

PORSCHE WATER COOLED/AIR COOLED DIVIDED OWNERS WILL ARGUE WHICH IS BETTER,UNLESS YOU HAD LUXURY AND $$$TO HAVE DRIVEN BOTH..

LS = current penultimate for power/cost/efficiency.

Can't beat the big block chevy for pure power potential.... but the LS is currently the easiest to make big power cheaply and still get decent fuel mileage.

Conclusion so far: zero shit is given about Mo, but her leased car is a different story.

Overall I LOVE all cars! I don't give a fuck where they come from

Same here. But if I still rather buy American when possible.

I'll take a Cadillac CTS-V over any german or japanese Sedan any day of the week.
