Default outlier ?

I purchased a 2007 GT3 w/ 20k miles IIRC, over 4 years ago. I now have 40k miles. The car came w/ extended warranty which expires this fall. In the 20k miles, 6 track days i have only had the following "failures"?
- coolant fittings.

............. nothing else. Is this normal ? Car is exceptionally well maintain however, really - that's it ? i know - i'm complaining about nothing (literately). Knock on wood.

Do/ can i get my local dealership to perform a tooth comb inspection to find something wrong and get it performed under warranty ?

Sounds pretty normal to me. I occasionally complain that my Cayenne has occasional issues while the 500hp 4.0L monster next to it keeps humming along. Cheers

Yeah. Waaaay more track days than you. Lots of preventative maintenance, lots of brakes and oil and a clutch.... that's it. Oh the only real warranty type issue I had is a pasm damper went out when I first got the car.

Good cars. Really good cars. Reliability like the g series 3.2 motors. Tanks. With like 2x the output :-)

52 K -> clutch gone at 50k, diff (just about now...). Pretty solid. 2010.
