I'm not sure that you can call this a recall of GT3's. It more like an engine that breaks and gets replaced.

this is old news of an issue affecting a few GT3s, not all of them.

A goodwill situation from Porsche or you pay out of pocket. They will probably be generous on goodwill policy and covering all or a good percentage of repair within a reasonable time after warranty is expired.

Id better drive the hell out of the car before the warranty expires then.. If this keeps happening, they will eventually have to recall all the cars.

... please look at thread started on this recall by Chris3963 on July 16, 2015 ... 18 pages worth

This is old news, but new insight would certainly be appreciated ...

Given the history involved, and the way Porsche has bent over backwards to date to make things right, I think you are right.

Always thrash your car while still under warranty. Better to troubleshoot then

+1 Why I like buying used cars from folks who have properly driven their cars. I'm more leary of bubble wrapped creme puff cars then ones that have been properly used and maintained.
