If she didn't get back in, she would have been left behind... Euro Delivery rules...
Wife riding along at the Nürburgring
Wife riding along at Spa
Wife riding along unfamiliar Alpine passes (still breaking in motor...)
Wife riding along more unfamiliar Alpine passes (still breaking in motor...)
(Wife is Food Angel here on Rennlist, she has more posts than I do... She's been my wing-woman on this Porsche fetish for 22+ years.)
(Note in the videos where you can watch me shift, the downshift paddle on the steering wheel failed early after I took delivery...)

PCNA is now offering me 2 choices.
1) 2 year/100,000 CPO on my car or
2) $2500.
On the surface the first offer sounds like the way to go, but after looking up what Porsche's Approved Limited Warranty is, here's the link... (http://www.porsche.com/usa/approvedu...tures/warranty)
The part about what is not covered didn't bother me until I got to the last two items. If my engine blows up at the track during an HPDE, it looks like I end up with a paper weight in my garage, unless I'm willing to fork over $60,000 grand and labor for a new engine.
What do you guys think?

Intersting. This is the basic CPO verbiage. But...GT3 came with a track warranty. So would it's CPO be different? So far, most of what has been occurring is premature wear of the Top end. People can still drive the car. So it isn't blowing up at the track. One day at the track isn't magically wearing the components down to where the sensors detect something is wrong, and neuter the car to under 7k rpms. This is occurring over many miles, from using the car as it was intended (as opposed to tracking your regular Porsche).
I would still take the CPO, as it will be easier to sell if you ever need to sell. I would also ask them to clarify if the CPO offer is an extension of your original warranty, because that included track use.

I re-read it again. I still think it would be hard for them to prove that the component broke during the track event. One can equally rev the car to 9,000 rpm on any road.

I talked to my sales rep and he also advise me to take option 1 especially if I'm going to keep the car. He told me the CPO starts after the current warranty expires. The interesting thing he said was that the current warranty excludes track use like the CPO... now I need to go and find this bit of information. Anything bad happens at the track under warranty, well it just happened in my drive way.

Fortunately Porsche hasn't installed GPS in the car, so as I was advised, just tell road side assistance that I'm broke down at the nearest gas station. When the wrecker calls, give them the correct address, PCNA will not be any wiser.
