Personally I think there are so many design faults with Porsche cars that we should all sell ours...flood Carsales and Gumtree with the sub-standard design icons to send a strong message that we will not accept the crap they have dished out for so long!! :-).  We demand better...much better!

Great idea, you go first........

Current: TBA

Ex: 1985 Carrera 3.2 / 2 X 1984 Carrera 3.2's / 1987 Carrera 3.2

Based on the above comment and current car status you're lookin' at Benz's right? ?

For a g-series 911

- AC

- 915 synchros

- indicator stalk switch actoon

- lack of fuses for condenser fan and lack of relay for headlights

- steering wheel obscures gauges

- oil level gauge

- head studs 

- prefilled chain tensioners vs continually fed 

- all cars except turbo don’t fill guards with standard wheels

Happens on the 996 as well with genuine approved 5mm spacers

Oh and for me the fact Porsche continue to supersede parts (like the original Mobil1 engine bay sticker) or you can't buy parts without buying the entire part (can't think of an example).

The bloody 4 post indicator stalk at $500 plus dollars not including labour.?

I'm likely to get a bollocking but here goes...

918 Spyder and Carrerra GT should have come as coupes, or at least optional. The CGT in particular can look ute-ish in profile. IMO it would have looked nicer as a coupe with a roof-mounted air intake like the GT1 or RUF CTR3

There is a zagato Carrera gt that fixes that I believe.

718 convertible: why aim the roof drip rails to dump above the sill mounted f+ r boot release switchs?

as above, some doggy plastic finishes

Squeeky drivers seat if you have wider shoulders than an 7 year old.
