I am extremely interested in this car but I want to make sure I am not making a huge mistake based on what I am reading in these threads. There is such a large market of available, low mileage, gt3s available. I'd very much appreciate every one's opinions before I jump into this purchase. Op, sorry for high jacking. Congrats on the engine. Thanks, Jason
Yes, you'll still never know if this car will fail any given track day, but it somehow applies to all cars.

I have an E engine with 8,000 track 1,000 road miles. Engine was opened up about a month ago to fix a timing problem, and there was no cam wear, and wear on the cam lifters was not deemed significant enough to warrant any action.

So true in your comment. How many other so called track cars out there would last or take as much punishment as the GT3 would take. As some have said, any car on the track would eventually need some form of engine repair. This 9K rpm engine is still one of a kind.

Jason. You may have dodged the E90M rod bearing issue but the GT3 motor issue appears to have a higher probability of occurrence. It is reported that the 2014 "E" and 2015 "F" have had issues. If I were in the market, I would only consider the 2016 "G".
