My "2nd Gen" F (March 2015) has 44Km/s now. 27k miles. No failure. I drive track, Autobahn and in the Backyards - a good mixture The engine should be in the critical stage now if it has the issue.

My 991.1 GT3 F-engine with 10 track events failed at 37k miles. I now have 2k miles and a track event on a G-engine with no issues so far.

Original F engine now at 25K miles, I do around 6 track days a year.

Another data point I test drove a 2015 with 109K miles that Monterey Porsche had for sale in 2018 with original motor.

My 2015 with original motor has around 28k miles. Trying hard to get it to die but no luck yet.

I'm thinking of having my dealer lower it and check the cams before 10 years runs out. I know I'll be out $$ if not, but I'm hoping we'd see some obvious wear.

My 37k mile F-engine went at a track event.
So schedule a few track events and see what happens.

Love to see more data on this, as I’ve just gotten a new G6 prior to getting my car now put on around 8,000 km

I just rolled the dice and purchased a 2015 991.1 GT3 with 33K. Several prior owners, but the main who had it from 11K to 33K says it was never tracked (and it looks that way).
It's bizarre to secretly hope that it fails within the the next two years or so.....

No secret about it. You want it to fail before the warranty expires,

Looks like a lot of cars made it past 30k miles without issue so far
keeps it going folks
I own a .1 with only 18k miles and i keep wondering if engine will ever go

What is the driving procedure to get the misfire? I have a friend with 30,000 miles and he's hoping to win the lottery soon.

Trackdays work fabulously in my experience.
