Well I don't have a dog in this fight, though I had both 996 and 997 versions of car.
What I will say, however, is that I always felt better about a drivetrain with extensive previous applications in either racing or track use. This way, it's application to street car use was a doddle.
Don't understand why Porsche doesn't make the race car first, compete with it for a number of years, then sell a street version. 993's, 996's, and 997's were more that way. 991's are not, just sayin'

Considering the
Need 4 Speed teenagers
Let me rev to 9k who cares of break in ?
What ? Is snowing? What drifting 4 free opportunity!!
and new or old posers not able to
see the difference between a catalyser and their hoover
why they should ever first race it?
As long as PAG afford 4 replacement
i feel more safe with all these idiots around doing
any possible insane thing to a 991
GT3 or RS, these are specialty cars and considering what they do, it's amazing how reliable they are. More importantly, once an issue is identified, Porsche does an amazing job of putting things right. Wonder what Ferrari normally do?
Yup. 997: no warranty after track but they replaced 3 clutches, 3 thermostats, 3 Transcooler valves, 3 side and rear mufflers (3 different 997's) and on the 4.0 galley plug and intake butterfly.. Actually I never owned a GT3 out of warranty and my repair cost has been $0.00. I'll never ever buy anything else for the track.9

I'll take a complete tranny, no questions asked.
How is this not great customer service?
They are awesome. But, I believe if I gets 350R or AMG they will also stand behind the product no matter how many times at the track.

If I do, I'm gonna beat that guy filming 50 launches by another 50 launches before noon.8

Stop bitchin' it's snowing anyway. Ship it south and I'll guide you into the GT3DE cup. Between my AC warehouse and Sebring it will be broken in. About same distance as Zuffenhausen - Ring.)

Another riddle ;-)
My car was redlined 50? Times before I did 500 miles chacing Mr Ring concierge Kobalt... My car uses less and less oil and seems to be happy as a monkey with 3 dicks.

OK flame suit on....
Haven't seen a sequential gearbox in a street car yet. Not sure the racing development of the transmission part of the drivetrain applies. While it is nice to know that a street car has some connection to the race car....don't fool yourself, they are not one in the same, and not built for the same purposes. I think it is interesting to always hear how everyone wants the "race car parts" in their street car, but also want an easily maintainable car, that won't cost them an arm and a leg repairing all the time. And racing regulations determine what they can develop. When is the last time you saw anything from formula one put into production?
Upon publication of this thread, I called my dealer in Illinois (United States of America) and inquired of such recall as was published by GT3ZZZ whom I believe is from United Kingdom.
My car was built in May 2016 and accepted delivery August 3 2016. My Service Advisor (SA) informed me there are two "voluntary recalls", namely:
1.) Spark plug and coils need to be replaced.
2.) Front grille support need to be replaced. (This would be the plastic support on the front screen/mesh).
NOTE - SA advised me there is no recall on my vehicle so there is no notification or letter sent out. Rather this is a "campaign" which is voluntary, meaning if the vehicle is brought in they (dealer) will update parts or anything necessary. There is no gear box change on my car.
Holly smoke guys. I have no skin in this game but it seems to be a minor thing. Being a 2014 GT3 Owner that had an engine swap this seems trivial. No Big deal with this; car is fine. They might of had some bad batches and taking precaution.
This is not like now your RS is tainted. Do you think you married a Virgin?
Just read about this in 911 magazine - small article on this effecting spark plugs of gt3 and RS for a batch of cars - will check with my dealer tomorrow
I remember when a coworker would always tell me of any Porsche recall or campaign that he heard about it, telling me "all Porsches are being recalled" I once tried to explain the different models and how a recall wasn't a big deal they were just repairing a part, he never got it, and kept it up, I just ignored him
Chillax brother, you aren't my sensing the sarcasm. Remember I'm part of the 991 family with my lowly GT3. BTW, I'm made a strong open offer to a soon-to-be delivered PTS RS...up to the owner if he'll take it or not (yes, it's over $50k over).
I have an 16 GT3. Oct 15 build. Car will not accelerate "normally" in first or second gear. To dealer for second time this week. Feel sure it's PDK problem. Allan
