Only the outer skin became unbonded - magnesium subframe structure still bolted in place.
At least you can now see that an "open" top would be possible...

Doesn't that whole peice come unbolted even on the Z06, where you technically can make it into a targa top? I think the Exige does the same thing.

Again - who cares?
You? Last time I checked you drove neither... right ?
And Porsche have had their fair share of "quality problems" - you just don't want to talk about them.

Ya... the Porksters keep all the "real info" to themsleves...
http://www.theautobahn.com/forum/sho...uality+control
Problems range from rattles and squeaky clutch pedal, to seats falling apart, b rakes warping anf transmission going south...
But they all seem to have similar responses to folks who enjoy owning their Vettes "We don't car because when you hit the go pedal you forget about the issues"..

Well, just make a plan to have one by a certain date and work towards it -- then you too can post on the Porker Forums about your car problems... hehe

I wonder why some American car fanboys can't accept the problems of their favourite car. Complex of inferiority??

I was going to say "Suck my dick".... but figure there is no need to lower to your level.... so I won't say "Kiss my arse" either.
But instead will point you to a thread like this that shows every car maker, even Porker have cars with minor and major failures...
http://www.theautobahn.com/forum/sho...page=1&start=& pp=10&highlight=quality+control
Read those 11 pages and see there are happ,y unhappy and even pissed customers at Porsche for blown engines, transmissions, rattling interiors, warping brake rotors etc etc etc.
So how about you give up this "shit of american cars vendetta" once and for all?
You just ignore the fact that even F-cars and L-cars have problems... :roll: -- but I guess because you pay more for them, it's easier to forgive the flaws...
