Wayne didn't know that the Porsche was built similar to the Corvair. Or at
least that's what I got out of his message. In fact, the Corvair could
compete with the 912, as it has a 4 cylinder engine with similar HP to the
Corvair's six. The 911 has a lot more HP to work with.

 ml> "behind" indicating away from the front...

I didn't read it like that...all of us knows that the engine is behind the
front in a Corvair and a Porsche. Way behind.
