Tons of 991.1 engine issue info in the 991 GT sub forum. I’ve followed the issue for the past ~4 yrs. Mostly two camps. Those that say buy one and drive it and hope it fails before the warranty ends and those whom don’t want to gamble or the headache associated with the issue (I’m in this camp). Mostly all agree that it’s a great car (different from the 997 gen).

I'm keeping the 997.1. It's my FAVORITE shape of all GT cars regardless of generation. Am I the only one that likes the shape of the rear wing on the .1? My only other temptation is a 2021 PDK GT4 for track use. But my wife doesn't like the look of the GT4 - I'm pretty sure she said "so you always have to have a GT3" or something like that. As I recall there is a little tiny set-screw in the intake of the 3.8L that can drop into the engine and wreck it. But maybe that's for the 3.6 as well. The 997.1 is an antique and a rare-ish classic. I got my doors blown off by a 991.1 on track my one time out by a driver that is not faster than me so I know that each generation is definitely faster but I think I will have fun tracking the 997 GT3 anyway. I'm trying to sell the 944T so that I can spend more time with the GT3.
not sure about the newer one, I hear they are sitting at dealerships - cannot confirm as my local dealer is more into selling SUVs
