Third, you know that the simple act of driving the car (even on the track) doesn't automatically turn it into a squeaking/rattling bucket of bolts, right? Fourth, you know that NOT driving the car on the track is no guarantee that the car won't squeak/rattle, right? Good, just checking.

Don't get me wrong, I'd probably buy one if finances were no object, but I have $10 (finances are no object!) that you'll sell the thing inside of 3 years.

clearly you have reservations on this car. so why are you trying so hard to buy it?
when you see the right car for you, you will know.
cars i buy with due diligence are always the one's i sell.
those i bought bc i "felt" it are the one's that stays... well stay longer than 6 months.

So I bought my own and now I make sure to downshift whenever I drive by his house. Not sure if that violates the restraining order or not

I too was very analytical since this was a major purchase and my first step in the Porsche world. I still have the google sheet where I have aspects scored and every grey RS on the market would be inserted and scored. While track time does put more wear on the vehicle, do realize these cars are meant to take it..and love it. So either pay a little extra for a cream puff or deal with one that has spent time on the track. Either way, you'll get an amazing ride.
