...so now what?

You turn the corner and keep going....

Pat yourself on the back and raise a glass to your car - it's now officially a survivor!

Congrats to you and the SC. A true milestone. Now you need to write a nice letter to Porsche expounding the virtues of their cars, how privileged you are to own one and then see if you can get some freebies

Congratulations! It's what Porsches were made for. Imagine doing that in a ferrari...

Change the oil! You have just completed the break-in miles. I know others say oil can last longer, but always change it earlier when done breaking in the motor. If you were more ****, you'd change it at 100,000 and again at 200,000

Thanks all...but why do I feel like a rebuild is not too far in my future?

Other than a top end reseal job done by the previous owner, this engine has never been split to my knowledge.

My mechanic works on an SC that has over 400K, case has never been cracked, doesn't drip oil, runs like a top, although, when he test drives it following a service, he admittedly will not push it too hard, as he doesn't want to be the one that breaks it. The owner, incidentally DOES drive the car hard.

Does it feel broken in yet?

After applying the infamous 911 odo error correction factor, you may still have a ways to go.

I say you find someplace 500 miles away, drive there, and when you pull back into your driveway crack open a cold one and celebrate!

Be sure to stick a camera in the glove box for the magic moment ;-)

Look forward to the 300,000 mark.

I'm at 310,000 km/196,000 miles.
I should be joining you by the end of the season.

Great to hear.
I always thought these pre'89 cars are THE strongest Porsches ever built. They aren't even broken in until 50K+ and they improve and last longer if they are driven daily and red-lined often.
Well done.

PS: Arbeitm, how has the targa top fared in 200K miles?!!
