...and this is Andrea
Here is Andrea. So, would you rather speak to sweet and responsive Andrea, or the surly Katrina?

+1, Nick.
Especially, with 785 engine swap cars worldwide, a company of Porsche's stature, size, and position should think very carefully.
I have no idea what Porsche's advertising budget is, but I recently heard an anecdote from someone who used to work at Visa's marketing / advertising department. The joke was, "Instead of developing and running various ad campaigns, why don't we just run an ongoing promotion where we award $1 million each day to a random Visa cardholder who swipes their card that day?" Why? Because that $365 million / year campaign would draw amazing attention to Visa AND cost less annually than their actual marketing / ad spend.
So, come on Porsche. Making 785 of your most ardent / enthusiastic / loyal customers happy...how much would it really cost? And what kind if spin / goodwill would it build? Would it not prove that Porsche not only creates amazing products, but also values their customers far more than their competition? Bc, believe me, their treatment of these customers would be heralded within the auto enthusiast community and likely in the general media too.

Replacement of ALL 785 "defective" MY2014 GT3's = $102,835,000 (usd)

That's base US MSRP x 785.
Real figure would be actual cost to build vehicle and profit based on optional equipment, multiplied by 400 or so US vehicles and factoring in the price of the cars in other markets for the rest, along with several other variables.
I'm no accountant, but I'm sure someone could figure it out.

LOL. You do seem like a hell of nice guy and a fine gentleman 
Regarding what she looks like, I did a google search on Katrina and it seems like 90% of all the images were for one gal! So wonder if it is her, but I did discover she has too different distinctive personalities. Check out her picture during working hours,

Hilarious. Maybe I should go to the dealer today and I might get lucky.

Just got back from overseas and had a message from "Katrina" waiting for me. I will give her a call in the morning and be sure to say Hi from the Rennlist gang
