How many 15-16 gt3's have engine replaced?

Fair enough. But the testing data we were shown supports PAG's contention that the problem is in fact fixed. I believe them, and they have given me no reason not to. But you can believe what you want.

Sounds very strange. But who can possibly doubt testing data shown by Volkswagen.

This topic has been discussed over and over. The 2014, 2015 and 2016 engines are all the same with regards to this issue. Some will fail, some will not.
BTW, I prefer to look at the glass as half full, not half empty. If Porsche wants to give me a new engine in a year or two (or 5), I am fine with that. This is a high performance engine. Who gives you that after 50,000 miles? This car is the deal of the century.

For new buyers like myself, I prefer buying something that is worry-free, or....close.

So...my advice is to just drive the car and forget about this issue.

The biggest difference that I have noticed so far is that the new engine doesn't burn ANY oil! I already put about 1000 miles and oil consumption is zero. My previous new engine took about two liters of oil every 1000 miles.

Read carefully: 10 yr / 120k mile warranty. Drive the dang car and enjoy! If the engine has a problem during the generous warranty period, you get a new engine. WE ARE COVERED, the risk rests with Porsche, not us.
I'm glad to take that deal instead of a getting an engine without reported issues so far but 'only' a 4 yr / 50k mile warranty.

If for FF, then it's from the in-service date which means several years less the 10 total and only for the ff.

IMO, Porsche should put a mileage only warranty/constraint. Since it's a very specific failure mechanism, and acknowledged design defect by Porsche, there should not be a time constraint, only mileage.
