Car handles beautifully for me but perhaps I 'am well under it's ceiling
Trakcar may take her for a few laps WF for a compare to RS
Thanks for in advance for set -up advice

Good deal. They didn't replace my coil packs or spark plugs when my injectors failed, so now I have to go back in for service in a month or so and pay for that.

just did the 12k service plugs ,oil , check over read and reset codes etc. $1k+
look at it as insuring the warrantee for when it maybe needed for a little more than plugs

Glad to hear! I'm of the opinion that regardless if the VIN of the car qualifies it for coils & plugs replacement, the power output per cylinder and rpm of this engine will use up coils & plugs every so many track hours until an updated version of coils and/or plugs become available from OEM. Carrying a spare set in the tool box is not a bad idea to prevent loosing track time.

Depends on the person's skill level of course. But yes it can be done, its no different than changing coils & plugs on a 997. Although I much prefer to do this at the shop than in the paddock trying to make the next session, sometimes you gotta do whatcha gotta do. Cars with side muffler bypass pipes does make it more convenient to do this with no saturating heat in that area.
