Here is what I believe:

1. The GT3 is the flagship.
2. This problem most likely impacts all 991 GT3, RS and R models.
3. Porsche is not stupid.

Given what I believe, Porsche will do the right thing. The right thing could include:

1. Fixing this issue out of warranty.
2. Addressing this issue proactively.
3. Being compelled to fix this as bad press piles up.

In the event that Porsche doesn't address this issue prior to my warranty running out, I can just trade my GT3 in for a low mileage 991.1 GT3 CPO or buy a 991.2 GT3 and not worry about it for another 5 years. I can even sell the car to my dealer, they CPO it, and then I buy it back.

There is also the 3rd party fix, which we will learn about in a few weeks. This may be the way to go, or it may just compel Porsche to address the problem head on. Who knows.

Lots of options. Either way I am not worried about it. Under no scenario can I see myself having a dead GT3 lying around because the engine blew out of warranty. Not happening.

You can go back to 2007 and start with the 997.1 GT3/RS. Every iteration of the GT has had significant problems. My 997.1 GT3 had 4 RMS leaks in 4 months in 2500 miles. Porsche never fixed the problem on my car. Sure it was under warranty. But the car spent more time in the shop than in my garage. The issues with the current GT cars make the RMS leaks pale in comparison. I'm gun shy now on the GT cars.

Do you have 2 or 3 year longer warranty?

I am not fully sure why the dealer told me that however, he gave me the $2500 off what the certifcation costs. I would assume anything what would fail during the CPO test would be a warranty case? Which I have now 3 more years anyway ...

I wanted to argue with her and point out that someone was not telling the truth but it was going to help my situation at the time.
