My 2015GT3 F engine's out with a failed rocker (broken). The car has about 5000 miles most of them are track miles. Even thought all cylinders were clear of scratches, Porsche sending a new engine.
Two of my friends have 2014 GTs with E engines on their cars. Both cars have more then 15000 miles. 90% not even track, more like racing miles, running very hard. They use Castrol 10W60 oil and 200 cell racing cats. So far no problem with their engines.

The problem is for the guys who planned on keeping theirs' long term, like well past warranty. The ones who flip, when the next greatest comes out, don't really care too much. Interesting times a few years from now.

Porsche dealer can extend warranty every year for up to 9 years from the date when your car was manufactured. If it goes beyond factory warranty, it cost about 1000$ a year. It is good idea to buy this extended warranty before your factory warranty expires. I'll definitely get one.

Have we heard of any non-tracked F engines that have proven troublesome? Or is this issue exclusive to tracked engines? I wonder if the engine is good for long mileage on the highway and only a fraction on the track? Ratio?

Does anyone have experience with a large failure out of warranty that was this well documented? How did Porsche handle it? If there is a similar issue out of warranty on a car with documented maintenance, will Porsche likely leave the owner with the bill? Engines shouldn't fail after 10, 20, 50k miles. Not standing behind a low mileage engine in one of your halo cars with documented issues doesn't seem like a recipe upon which a brand is built.
