I have G61040 which was replaced 12/20. Ultra curious if there were actually 752 replacements between you and I. If so, that's awesome.

Aside from that point I would take the G engine. I agree with other people on that. I'd rather have an already fixed engine rather than an engine with a design flaw that might break after the warranty runs out.

Just to clarify here....the "much better brakes" should read "much more expensive brakes to replace if they break." PCCB do NOT make you stop any faster than steel brakes. It gives you an advantage of no brake dust and does not fade as much on the track. On the bad side it costs $13k for front rotors and $13k for rear rotors if you have to replace them down the line so consider that. They are much more fragile than steel rotors and so if you chip it during wheel dismount or get a rock stuck you're gonna have a bad day.

I know of several people who have had a big money surprise caused by a rock chipping a PCCB rotor...
