I highly doubt it's the engine, wdonovan. It drives fine once the tranny is matched up with the engine. The sensation really comes from the clutch... not sure I want to open up a bigger can of worms before I get this sucker dropped off at my indy. I appreciate you looking at a variety of other factors, though.
My engine leakdown/compression came out pegging on all cylinders during a recent PPI. It's a brand new engine only 17K miles old straight from Porsche installed at a Porsche dealership. It runs healthy.
