Not a fan of electric cars. I question the quality of this 911 build. You
can see from the photo the two oil lines from the right front fender oil
cooler that run to the oil tank behind the right rear wheel. What do
suppose they are using that for? Or, is the thought that if you don’t like
it, you can always drop in an awesome flat six with six Weber’s howling
behind you for a soundtrack as you fly down tiny back roads with relative
ease?

You can see from the photo the two oil lines from the right front
fender oil cooler that run to the oil tank behind the right rear wheel.
What do suppose they are using that for? Or, is the thought that if you
donat like it, you can always drop in an awesome flat six with six
Weberas howling behind you for a soundtrack as you fly down tiny back
roads with relative A ease?
