Aside from anything else within this thread, I wholeheartedly agree with this statement, and it's a real shame not least because it devalues the input that many specialists and forward thinking engineers could have to us all as owners.
If we all worked together I feel we could achieve anything.
Example;
Im currently working on early application process of the new style ZF 8 Speed gearbox to a tiptronic P car.
This is essentially is the same outlay as our ZF6 Auto boxes in the tiptronic vehicles however much more advanced.
Essentially it drives like a dual clutch.
Can you imagine the amount of people that would benefit from ZF8 gearbox conversion in a tiptronic car?

The real benefit of this application isn't the shift speed but the delay between the shift commanded and the execution rate.
If we we able to draw upon all the talents in the Porsche aftermarket industry and it's enthusiasts, with appropriate funding we would of had this completed in 14 months easy.
