The 84+ ones with electronic fuel injection (instead of CIS) and taller gearing do better, but still!!

Porsche was having a devil of a time complying with emissions and built some trash motors in that period IMHO. The 84 3.2L was a vastly better motor. But 20 is hard to believe we are talking hwy cruise control on at 60-65mph right, not 100+?
