Fuel pumps be damned, at least the N54/N55 doesn't completely self destruct...

Very surprised to hear that... The naturally aspirated 911's are all very bullet proof in my experience. Just rag on that engine all day long and it will keep on going. They're one of the only cars where the road cars and racing cars are manufactured in the same facility. I also enjoy them because they can be scary at the limit and it takes a skilled driver to take one to the limit. Jeremy Clarkson doesn't like them probably because he can't drive it well... Laser precision steering because of no weight over the front end, subtle styling and a motor that screams like a banshee... 996 Turbo S cabriolet (GT2 turbos/intercoolers) with a downpipe, reflash and intakes was one of the fastest cars I have ever been in.
My old man's 05 911 S.
