	As a matter of fact, I have to admit that I have been beaten by a 
few Porshes in Solo II, but that isn't really the point.  I don't like 
their styling, which is subjective, but I also don't like their basic 
architecture.  A rear engine is _not_ ideal for anything except drag 
racing and braking.  I would admit though that they have made these 
things for so long that they know how to make them work.  The front 
engine Porsches only offend my eyes.  Otherwise, excellent cars.
