But, of course, the Porsche is water cooled double OHC , and 40 years later 
in technology and metalurgy. The comparison is natural but actually absurd. 
The only thing they have in common are numbers of cylinders and a flat 
configuration. Lets compare the subaru to the porsche. They are considerably 
closer in technology.
