Being that these cars are prone to these issues, here's something you can do for your GT car today-I posted it on the battery issue thread, but it's a good time of year to make sure yours is OK, no corrosion, and protected.

>>Regardless of which battery type or brand you have, consider cleaning and replacing cables-I posted my starter issue and there are other threads on the regular 997 forums as well. There is also a cable junction under the car that should be cleaned and/or tightened too-
