I participate in auto cross, Porsche DE's and drive it regularly. While I do have only 60K+ miles, it has been flawless! I know of other modified 996's with over 200k miles and very minimal parts failure.
I can't really comment on the newer 997's with the yet to be proved blocks, but the older turbo's are ROCK SOLID!

Excellent post. Makes my Turbo look 'meek' in comparison. I'm glad you have 60k with no issues.

I really enjoy my car. Now, that I've released it ... and added the black HREs, I'm pretty happy where I am with the car and only 16.5k on the clock.

I'll see where the car is when the "new Turbo" breaks in a couple years. Perhaps I'll be moved to do a new car ... or, keep what I have. After all ... 500+ ponies is nothing to toss to get 50 more, eh.
