I have quick questions for you what was wrong with the PDK that it required replacement at 50k? I am looking at 09 PDK with 100k right now, is there anything major I should look for?

From what I have read, there is no reason not to drive these cars.
They are well built, 100k is nothing if maintained correctly.

I watched the Sharkwerks video.
I was very impressed.

Very very nice, and not while pulling into the garage. Congratulations.

My 997S is about to hit 84,000 miles - still as strong as day 1 what a car.


My local Indy reported a 997 with over 249,000 miles on original engine.
