Update.
Dealership just got the fuel pump out of the car and the so common hose had a tear in it. Same thing happened on my 996rs a couple of years ago but didn't act any way near as bad as it did this time.
Well,
1300bucks later and a new pump ordered I should be good to go again.

Did you ship your US registered car to Europe to use for a short period of time? I have always wondered what it would take to do so. i.e., other than physically getting the car there, how about the insurance, license issue, etc.

I shipped it to Europe to drive it on European tracks. I'm right now trying to get it thru inspection in Sweden. Most organizers here want street legal cars. Even touristfahren at the ring. I'll most likely keep it on this side of the Atlantic.

Keep us posted with your adventure! I hope the inspection is not difficult to pass.. So driving in Europe with US plate is ok? Does your US insurance cover the car while oversea?!

My insurance provider(chubb) doesn't cover in Europe. But, I know some companies do. Been a bit more hassle than I thought it would be to get the car inspected and the get local insurance.

So you are trying to register the car in Europe then?
I would love just to be able to ship the car over and somehow get an insurance, and drive for a few weeks (and visit all the famous tracks) and ship it back..

Splitting my time between US and Europe.
Should be doable to ship you're car over and drive it on US plates. You just need to sort out the insurance problem. Most US insurances only cover the US.
I know it's possible. Have seen cars driven for years on cali tags in Sweden.

Possibly contact someone at Porsche. Euro delivery offers 14 days of insurance coverage but I'm sure there has been many who wanted to stay/drive longer than that. I would be they have an avenue for insurance questions.

Personally getting Swedish plates and insurance on my car. I know its possible to drive your US car in Europe with US plates. Seen a few that spends summers in Europe and drive their US cars with US insurance.
My insurance provider only covered until the car left the port. (Chubb)

Yes,
Fuel pump. The rubber hose had a crack in it. Third time I've had to do this on different 996gt3s. Never been as bad as this time. Car wouldn't run at all. Previous times cars just lagged under pressure. This time I had to trailer to shop.

Had a similar problem, engine ran super rough, un-driveable right after the last of a three day stint at the Glen last fall.
Car needed to be trailered, no engine codes. After much trouble shooting (checked valves, cams (cracking), fuel pump pressures, filters, hoses, etc) and finally systematic sensor replacement, the crank sensor was found to had failed undetected.
Low pressure fuel pump also had to be replaced and was also undetected until the crank sensor was replaced, then it showed up even though it had tested positive pressure previously.
Very very tough to find, although fairly inexpensive to repair.
