That's two now. It took two fires to fix the engine. Maybe now they'll finally they'll pay attention to this too. Come on, PAG!!!! Really sorry to hear your horrible story, lumber. Thanks for the photos and info.

This sucks big time but I agree with you about the car. I assume they will fix this under warranty, correct?

I would say yes. My dealer is cool. But they won't touch it until the stop sale is over.

Understood. Perhaps they can order the radiator as a "stock" part, rather than under your name, so you're ready to go when the engine is here?

I just meant they won't fix it for me so I can keep driving it now. And I was just starting to enjoy this car again.

I get that. I'm just surprised that Porsche keeps on dropping the ball with their designs in this car....

I'm with you there. I have to imagine that when these are on the road in numbers, you are going to see a run on front radiators.

Have we ever heard back from whoever was thinking of custom making those mesh parts?

The lack of this screen is not a specific issue to the 991 GT3 but also other models and previous generations of GT3 as well.
