Of course, it could also be an unreliable oil gauge (not uncommon)

Hello mates:
I haven't seen or read anything about the issue I've been having with my manual GT3: right after shifting to 2nd gear, if I'm slower to let go of the clutch (while simultaneously pressing the gas pedal), the exhaust note gets much deeper/louder and the car goes into a "limp mode" and stops accelerating. It even kind of stutters as if I'm not giving it gas.
Is this normal? Why is it doing this? Anyone else experiencing this? Should I get it checked out?
Thanks in advance.

Seems like it's not unique to my car given what I'm reading above, but also b/c my current 991.2 GT3 is my second one and the first one did the same. Still haven't had time to take it in but will try to. Hopefully, it's nothing crazy and something can be fixed. I'll let everyone know.

Only two issues I've had with mine were both minor.
I had the exhaust actuator tube come off on the left side, as mentioned by others here. Fixed it myself the first time with a zip tie but it didn't hold up. Dealer put a new clamp on for me.
I had an issue with the shifter making a bit of a squeak and some rattling noises. I was sure there must be something wrong with the shifter itself but my dealer says I just need a new shift ****. This was during my year-end service before putting the car away for the winter so I'll get the new one on in the spring and see if it resolves the issue.

A couple weeks ago my motor just shut off while I was driving and then wouldn't restart. It would turn over very slowly but wouldn't fire. There was no indication from the car that anything at all was wrong. No smoke. No leaks. No CEL or any other messages on the dash. The car seemed to think it was fine.
I picked it up Tuesday night with a new motor in it.
I wish I could give more information but that's really all I've got. No major over-revs or anything. It just gave up the ghost. I expect they'll send it back to Germany for a tear-down to figure out what went wrong but I have zero hope of ever being updated with that information.
