Tom Thalmann has over 700k on a 996 Turbo and Bill MacEachern has 800k on a 930 Turbo, so I think that youre good for whatever use case you actually have since theyre all turbos now 😏. In any case, Most people arent driving their 911s more than 5k a year unfortunately, and sitting is a lot worse for them than driving.

Bill has had an egine reuibld roughly every 100k miles. i believe the current build puts out over 600 hp.

There's a reason for this statement: "Porsche - The Ultimate Driving Machine"
I know of many 911's with over 75K miles...some with over 100K miles. If you maintain the car as it should be maintained, then all you need to do is drive and enjoy. However, you start tuning and whatnot - then you can expect a shorter mechanical lifespan.
