The Porsche fellow may not be dispensing crap.   He may well be 
dispensing respectable Porsche technicalese.

However, Porsches are not Corvairs or vice versa.    About the only 
thing they have in common is the air cooled boxer concept.   Other 
than that, they're not at all similar in design.

...kinda like comparing a Fiat Dino V6 with a similar vintage Buick 
V6.   Both are V engines and both are liquid cooled.   However, 
that's where the similarity ends.
