I know what you said. How the hell does Porsche do all that car testing, track time, driving in the stupid snow, then produce 500 examples of the car or whatever, Then decide to replace the motors? I dearly hope that is wrong, as that is monumentally stupid.

we are also hearing possible new engines .people in the uk are getting frustrated because there being kept in the dark. personally I wouldn't my 120k car stripped down and a new engine put in! as cole rightly points out whats the point of all the testing known to man and they fail. remember this is Porsche were talking about. I was at Geneva at the weekend and there seemed not to be the usual spark in the Porsche hospitality, I asked a salesman at dinner why there was no gt3 on the stand.....he replied they didn't have room for it due to the macan launch!!! anyone who's been to Geneva knows Porsche has a stand like a soccer pitch!

Communication reportedly received today by some owners. Hang in there.
"Please find below the latest communication received today from PAG with regard to the 911 GT3 delay
In our previous communications concerning the “GT3 engine”, we promised to keep you updated about new findings. We understand that you need more information about how the activities at Porsche are progressing and we are aware that because the season is fast approaching you want to know when you can use your vehicle. We can assure you that the specialists at Porsche are working intensively at resolving the problem. Given the complexity of an engine designed uncompromisingly for optimum performance, it is necessary however, to first investigate all damage hypotheses as well as other possible contributing factors in minute detail in order to fully identify possible damage-causing mechanisms.
With regard to further communication concerning the cause of the problem and remedial action, our aim is to provide you with accurate and reliable information. Please understand that we can only do this after we have fully completed our investigations, which are progressing well so far. We therefore ask for your continued patience and understanding.
Please rest assured that we will let you know immediately as soon as we have accurate findings to report.
We would like to thank you for your continued patience and assure you we will communicate further official communication when this is received from PAG"
