Deeply impressed ! Seems better than the 993 series , i may have to try one out ! Maybe it will be electronic gremlins that will be the problem in 5-10 years time ? I guess the moral is to drive them as much as possible now !

It should last longer because the engine is under less stress - ie the better cooling system the air guys always whine about

How much does it cost to have the clutch replaced?
Thanks

At 217'000 km, I went to replace my clutch. Ended up getting a new engine too. For the details, check the links in my sig!

Then at 246'000 km or so, I went for a little upgrade (Sportec stage 3, 542 HP, 788 Nm). The thing now has over 310'000 km and still runs fantastically.
