Yes, my point exactly.  Um, and the designers as well...  believe me I've read 
the books, studied the drawings, dreamt about owning something bigger, better, 
and faster than the '68 912 with a big bore kit and dual 48mm webbers I had 
while in University.  Actually the designs are similar but the build quality 
and execution was a far cry better than the beetles.  If I had the money, I'd 
buy a nice used RS America.

You mean the pedals sprouting from the floor, the center "spine"
chassis, the torsion bar suspension, the engine/trans mounting
provision and so forth?  The early 911s were esentially rebodied Bugs
(ala Karmahn Ghia or how ever it's spelled) with hot rodded engines.
