I'm also very sorry for your situation; it's one we all fear. My understanding is that this sort of thing could happen to anyone, LNE upgrade or no. I hope you have a warranty and or the fix is less involved than it first appears. Best of luck.

Bad news for sure. Would be nice if there would be crate motors from Jeg's and Summit Racing but eh. Just isn't that easy yet at least.

That picture really angers me.

That just simply shouldn't happen to any $80K car at any point in its life cycle ... and the fact that it has happened to so many with little or no broad brand/reputation impact on Porsche is a miracle.

You have to hand it to them. They successfully ignored the problem away. Amazing in this day and age that this can happen.
