This is very disappointing to see that they are not acknowledging the problem. It's a real issue and should be taken more seriously. I would be surprised if PCNA isn't following this thread and similar ones. To say it's isolated is just silly. I know it scared the ****e out of me when mine blew in a very dangerous place.

No doubt Porsche won't care what happens on a track because it would be very hard to pursue any legal claim.
Once again though I've already reported the problem to Porsche with my VIN etc... so if something does happen on the street hopefully they may at least fix it. I also think EVERYONE else should report this issue whether it's happened or not. Lets rain down on the Porsche so they take some frikken action THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM. F#ck it lets picket the factory, so who's with me

Seems like the usual denial by PCNA. I would not focus on track incidents. Rather, the fact that a bogus design or implementation causes premature failures. I'm sure a look at their warranty claims would show that almost all 996 GT3's are suffering this failure, usually before and then again after the warranty expires.

Sorry, I am new to this and probably still pretty naive.
